Good news at last! Do you think this is independent of the AJP mod? Or should others be advised to keep a spare solenoid on hand as well?
It did it with both stock and non-stock pipes, in fact, after further testing, seems to still be messed up. Spoke to soon, due to seeing better boost but not perfect. Solenoid fixed some of the issue, still seems I have a wastegate issue OR a leak, but did a leak test and there were no leaks to be found.
So either a turbo is in fact bad, or a wastegate is bad. Replacing wastegates would be probably in the neighborhood of $200-$400 for parts. And if that doesn't fix it, then what?
Since the car drives fine in town, and on the highway to an extent, just doesnt pull super hard, I am just saying screw it and leaving it alone.
I can't imagine a shop would have much better luck, other than throwing parts at it, and whether those parts fix it or not, charging me for them.
I'll leave it alone, and save up for ATPs, and a custom front mount. Take it to the local fab shop, and have them install said ATPs and front mount, and ask them to double check all the connections.
As a last resort, I pulled the negative off of the battery. I'm leaving it like that overnight, incase there is a U or B code, or something, that is stored that I do not have access to via the SCT X4.
I may also just say screw it, and trade the SHO in for something once its payed off, but who knows. There is really nothing else I can figure out that would be the issue, short of throwing a lot of money at trial and error for parts. If it is infact a turbo (or the wastegates), then the ATPs will fix that. If it is infact the intercooler, custom front mount will fix that. Anything else, and who the hell knows.
