Re: NEW boost control valve WOW!!!

Vroom,

I'm in just about the same position as you: I have a stock Turbo+ system and a Dawes Device waiting to be installed.

I'm planning on installing the g-valve in between the turbo and the Turbo+ solenoid. This will have exactly the same effect as the way you have it hooked up.

I was going to rip out the Turbo+ system altogher and sell it, but it adds fuel when conditions are right (over 4000rpm & WOT), and also dials down the boost when it hears knock. I'd love to find a way to route the hoses such that I get the benefit of the gvalve, but also the boost turndown when knock occurs... Anyone have any ideas? (Or am I wrong altogher on Turbo+'s ability to respond to knock? There's a lot of folklore and facts mixed together about Turbo+)
