37023, Where oh where has my boostie boost gone!?!?? Posted by HiOnPSI, Jan-06-03 03:58 PM
Made a turn onto the highway and now i can't boost. Getting the ole' fuel cut cold shoulder.. this is pissing me off. I don't know what to do, that's the only thing i have not messed around with.

Check some things:
Do you have a FCD? (ML?)
Check your intercooler piping?
Check your vacuum line to your FPR?

I'm almost positive it's my FCD. I'll go drive this morning and see what happens.

The FCD requires splicing and dicing of your MAP sensor wiring. It's a little voltage clamper, an they always seem to do a shitty job with bad consequences.
The ML is a mechanical check valve. Although, they aren't always perfect as well, if it fails, it will simply cause the MAP sensor to start reading boost as it did beforehand. But after owning several HRF FCD's and a SplitSec voltage clamp, and have a great many incidents of poor voltage clamping, I couldn't be happier with my ML.

Where would I go about buying a ML?

That's right. Yeah, that's another one of my issues with the SAFC. Another reason why I sold mine.
