Not getting full boost

The problem started when I got back from vacation and somehow my steel braided fuel line was leaking? Anyhow I pulled the uim off and replaced the fuel line, but when I got it all back together I noticed the charge relief solenoid had a broken nipple on the top, so I put a tad bit of superglue on it to hold it in place and jb welded it on. There is a possibility that I superglued it shut? What would this cause the car to do? So now the car only pulls like 15psi of vacuum instead of 18 and only spools to 4-5psi on the primary only. It also makes a strange "hoooo" of a noise, every now and then. Would all this happen if the charge relief solenoid wasn't working? Should I just go single?

^ i'd guess it's reasonable to assume that gluing it didn't work

So If you have the exact same problem it must be the solenoid... so Where can I get a new one, without paying $60?

you might be able to find one on the for sale section

notice: all the solenoids are exactly the same BTW, just relocate the breathers accordingly to make it whatever, ie; charge relief, charge control, turbo control, etc

you could elminate your double throttle (or something else) and you'll have an extra solenoid


the wategate control, turbo precontrol and turbo control 2 are different solenoids though, the rest of them are exactly the same.
