my step father has an 89 ford probe with a boost problem, not a leak, weve been told its the electronic boost control solenoid, that its either stuck or bad, he tried to purchase a stock one but they told him they no longer make it, he would have to get an after market one, we also heard you cant find an electronic one, then finally we were told to just unplug the vac line that saab guys did that and it still boosts fine so if anyone can lead us in the right direction with getting a new one great, but if we unplug or eliminate it from my knowledge (please correct me if i am wrong) you would need a manual controller, and a new boost gauge, but will the manual controller still activate the waste gate? were no good with electronics, and hes not looking to upgrade please help! thank you
