Charge release gate soleniod

[DMRH]

The charge release gate soleniod spends 99% of its working life with 12V (power) running through it where all the others spend around 01% - 05% of their working life with 12V running through them.

These soleniods appear to fail more so on the 16-bit cars (JDM series-7 + series-8) possibly due to the heating issues from that cramped closed in soleniod box.

This soleniod is a common failure on the FD. Who has had their charge release gate soleniods fail so far.........???

im not 100% if i do but i do have a problem...

if i change gears during the turbo transition (4-5k rpm) next gear i have no boost.. :mad:

i been thinking it might be a sticky actuator or a solenoid problem or a vacuum leak...

its like when the revs dip under the 4k mark and the first turbo is supposed to be spooling/boosting again, its not. instead its like boost being bled off (maybe still to 2nd turbo??)...:confused:

its been getting to me more and more...

if it is what ur talking about then any help would be appreciated...

*edit* its an 02 version VI RB-S

I have changed my TC, CC and all check valves and vacuum lines.

Search "vacuum" on this forum and then look at my "S8 Vacuum Thread"
