Would the car send off warnings during an overboost situation before BOOM? Other than a boost gauge, how could someone notice imminent doom?
I do like the cleaner look under the hood. It was fun ripping out all the useless bundles vacuum lines marring the left side of the engine bay.
I bought some copper BBs (surprisingly they were the cheapest) to plug some things up for good measure. Of course, in attempting to open the package I sent half the BBs flying in every direction.  My spring garage cleaning will be more interesting this year. |
The vehicle won't provide any warning when it's in overboost. The turbo will be screaming, however, so you might notice that if you're perceptive.
One additional point to note........the overboost valve can be brand spanking new and you still have no overboost protection if the manifold sensor is plugged. After 20 years, the overboost sensor is plugged........what do you think the condition of the manifold sensor might be? The SD has a properly functioning overboost protection valve but the system doesn't work because the sensor won't respond to boost levels above 15 psi (confirmed with boost gauge during wastegate adjustments).
Why bother with random BB's in various places. Determine which lines are not required for EGR and get rid of them. Most of the time, you get rid of two T's as well. That's what gives you the clean underhood look.
