does anyone elses fi car break the tires loose with just the throttle in 2nd gear? oem size tires. Not bragging here--just learning. I shifted from a breath on full throttle 1st gear--to 2nd, let the clutch engage then floored it. Dang tires broke loose (on interstate entrance going downhill--no sand or anything) for a second until traction control activated. I didnt expect that. 1st gear yea --anytime, but 2nd gear?
outside temps were in the low 40's

This will be my last question about the fix#2 because I will be performing this fix tomorrow.
Would it make any difference to tap the charge pipe (just before the throttle body) instead of the turbo outlet pipe?

You want the signal to come from as close to the turbo as possible.
Otherwise, the WG will flutter as the cold side piping pumps up and blows off over and over again, several times a second.
Its fairly mild, but it will surge the compressor a bit, which you want to avoid.

That's good to know - as a turbonewb I was going to take the WG signal from downstream of the intercooler - to regulate an 'actual' 7 psi at the throttlebody.....

I did the fix#2 today but I ran into problems.
In the instructions on the 1st page it says to buy a 1/8" barb to 1/8" NTP fitting with some 1/8" vacuum hose. Well the fitting on my boost solenoid is 3/16" barb to 1/8" NTP fitting.
So really I needed another 3/16" barb to 1/8" NTP fitting tapped into the turbo outlet pipe with 3/16" vacuum hose.
Also the vacuum cap for the intake manifold is not 1/8" either. That is also 3/16"
Besides that it was easy.

My AFR are always below 11.5 and no weird noises. I am thinking the solenoid is acting weird due to the bottleneck on the tiny 1/8" vacuum line because that's the only thing that has changed.
I will replace the fitting and hose with the right size and try again. If it does the same thing, I will take a video.

I just replaced the NPT fitting and I also used 3/16" vacuum hose and it made no difference.
Here is a short video of my rev limit problem. It feels like my wastegate is going nuts.

Looks like I will be ordering the mazsport ignition solution sooner than I thought.
Should I replace the spark-plugs 1st?
