Thread: Boost Bypass Actuator

Well I noticed my boost once again didnt fully max out at wot. I unplugged one vacuum line from the bottom of my Boost Bypass Actuator or my BBV, took it for a ride and I get better boost. My fuel economy is garbage no matter how I drive. I check with the stealership for a new one. $269. ! That is just crazy, is it worth it? O'reillys wants $38 lol plus $30 freight. That doesnt seem right. Sounds like it will last 3 days.. I am unsure of what to do, any suggestions?

What are you pricing the actuator or the solenoid valve. Zzp sells just the actuator for $50ish. You can post a wtb thread here and you can probable get one.

I am looking for an actuator, I checked ZZP and this is what I found. Eaton - EATON Bypass Valve #ETN-204103

It looks right but says its for an Eaton blower, I am unsure, if that is what a stock 99 GTP has or is Eaton aftermarket?

Thanks. Now time to find out how many arms and/or legs it will take to get it to me

the solenoid is what went bad, not the valve.

Are there any ZZP promotion codes I can use to get a discount?

that is the little mushroom shaped valve. they nearly never go bad.

what went bad was the solenoid, which is the small box that the wiring harness is connected to. the solenoid got sticky and isnt letting the valve open/close how it should.

Oooh, thank you for clearing that up for me. Time to find that little box somewhere online meow

I had a vacuum actuator go bad. Little tare in diaphragm you could see where the rod comes out.

Best way to check is with a vacuum hand pump. Connect hose, pump it up and see if it holds. This works for solenoid valve as well.

I have an extra actuator and a valve.

If you want/need either..pm me
