Your overboost protection valve is not in the circuit to the IP. That guys job is to vent boost presure away from the IP if the boost gets too high. It is in hte middle of the line between the manifold and the ALDA on the IP.

Thumbs up

Typical issue, probably caked up internally with soot and was bypassed. I did it on my SDL until I got a new one.

I'd just get a few used ones from a parts yard

Take it off and clean it out before you put it back on. I think I used something like WD40 to clean it out. Watch out though, it will shoot out all kinds of black junk. Kind of like carbon powder. Wrap the whole thing up in a rag before you shoot the WD40 to it.

If that thing cakes up, it'll effect the function of the ALDA?

Absolutely! If it clogs up you will not get the pressure signal from the turbocharger to the ALDA to tell it to throw in more fuel. No extra fuel, no extra power.

Picture is in the first post

The pressure line on the top of the overboost protection solenoid is not attached. There is a line that runs from the turbo charger to the OB Protection solenoid and then to the ALDA. If pressure gets too high the OB vents to pressure to atmosphere. That takes the signal away from the ALDA. The ALDA quits throwing extra fuel at the engine.

What keeps it from overboosting?

Maybe I need to read up on this...

Can you tap into the line going to this valve to feed a boost gauge?
