if not u cant turn it up via commander....
Yup, you need a power fc boost solenoid valve, plugs into the PFC. Dave in jap performance has one
Are they expensive to buy??Quote:

no lad it needs the solonied valve... you could jus stick in a normal eletronic boost controller eitherQuote:

Considering I have the power FC in it would it be better to get the solenoid valve or install elec boost controller...Quote:

Are you going to up the boost on a rotary without mapping? I know a lad who fitted a de-cat and wouldnt dare drive the car on boost till he had it mapped,
He got a s-body i'm sure its it he's talking about!!Quote:

I'm thinking now of actually getting a full remap done!!! Seeing what I can get out of it.Quote:

I haven had mine too long but have been in with Eddie wreckin his head quite a bit now and from what he tells me a lot of it is over exadurated and they can take a lot more hardship than people give them credit for e.g my thermostat and choke were knackered the last day in Mondello and I called him in fear of doing damage, he said keep on driving and after every run just let her cool, didn't have a problem other than a couple of litres of water but the point is I brought it in to him that evening and left it there and he checked it over, fitted new parts and said she is running perfect.....just an example.....but I think it comes down to how well they are looked after as with any carQuote:
