My bad, I had it backwards. Hold the bbv lever down.

Ok full boost with shaft held down. So what now?

the solenoid is shot.

Great. Moar money. And I type this as I am sitting on the shoulder on the highway with a flat tire from someone slashing my back tire. Oh what a day.

Can I try that useless zzp trick to change the position of the shaft? Or just get a new bbv

You can try it. But people reported picking up some flash KR up to 4*.

I'll just replace it

im having the exact same issue cars was fine and out of nowhere i just get half boost..i disconnected the line that goes from the solenoid to the bbv and i get full boost at high rpm/wot shifting but no boost under 4k rpm so now i re-connected the the line and its back how it was gets half boost from low rpm wot but stays half boost...my question is did replacing the bbv fix your problem? ive done some research around forums and other people are saying its the solenoid so witch one is it?
