The actuator heatshield has been modified to allow more airflow to the actuator now so I will see if that makes a difference.

Because the TurboSmart BOV controller works off of voltage delta and I was too lazy to learn Arduino.

One step closer to shift-activated BOV. Additional solenoid valve for the RPM-drop sensing controller to activate. Accelerator pedal-activated solenoid valve still works.

Dumb, curious question.
Why drill and tap a second hole in the CAC instead of just mounting both solenoids on a Tee off the original hole?
