ebpv
qestion i unpluged the tube that connects to the wastgate solenoid i think it was a red tube and i plugged that tube .
then stuck a piece of duct tape to cover the opening where the red tube was connected to wastegate solenoid my question is why does my wastgate still cycle when it is cold out and engine is cold (stops when engine warms up)
by disconnecting the red tube isnt that supposed to prevent that valve from cling
or am i getting the wastegate mixed up with somthing else ?

The red tube was to the wastegate. Disconnecting that will cause it to stay shut and give more boost.
The ebpv is what you notice turning on and off in the morning. I guess you could disconnect it if you wanted. It is a two wire plug at the bottom of the turbo. It has a wire clip to hold it on. I don't know if that will throw a code or something.
BTW why do people unhook the ebpv? Doesn't it do more good then bad?

thank for the info vancouver
for me i just dont like the noise of the valve opening and closing while driving with a cold engine with a striaght piped exhaust
it shouldnt hurt anything aslong as the valve stays open .

there is a simple plug that you pull and no more jet mating calls. It is white(on my 00 at least) and seen easily from the right side with the hood up. Just flip a tab and off it comes, best "mod" yet.
