I have A 2006 SS/SC I have posted because of the 3 PSI my SC is putting out. Is there a way that I can test the Boost control solinoid to see if thats the problem?

 

you could do the boost bypass mod...and see if that makes any difference.

 

How do I do the boost bypass mod?

 

On the bypass valve on the supercharger tak the bottom hose off of it

 

This happened to me when i first bought my car, it was only putting out 5lbs of boost, i got smoked by a cavalier and went back to the dealership and said i want my money back and told them what happened, they brought it right in, got it fixed and was good to go. hope yours is as easy

 

Success!!!! that worked.... My car has been like this for over a year and it works!!! so next question.. Where do I get a new boost control solinoid? can it only be bought at the dealer?

 

what happens when you take the hose off? does it mean it will go into boost the whole time?

 

I took the hose off and it immediatly started boosting over 10 psi. I havent pushed it because I figure since the hose is off it might over boost and I will do damage to the engine. But since its boosting I now know its the solinoid.

 

It cn,only boost as much as the restrictions let it and same with pulley

 

I have ordered the boost bypass valve from the dealer. Is it plug and play or do I have to have the ECU re flashed?

 

It just plugs in.

 

exactly, you wont be overboosting on this car. if anything it could lean it out for what its tuned for if that.
