Author Topic: 03-04 cobra boost by-pass EVLSONC ¯ Member # 6172 posted                              I was reading that you can cross the vacuum lines from the boost actuator and boost by-pass solenoid to reach max boost level at wot. Have any of you done this? -------------------- 03 Sonic Blue Cobra Posts: 158 | From: Campbell | Registered: Nov 2005  |  : 94gt ¯ Member # 3060 posted                                 yeah, why? -------------------- 2020 Explorer ST 2011 Silver Raptor 'Screw Posts: 5777 | From: Beavercreek, OH | Registered: Jul 2003  |  : EVLSONC ¯ Member # 6172 posted                              i don't know, maybe i was wondering if it worked well and if it was worth doing??? -------------------- 03 Sonic Blue Cobra Posts: 158 | From: Campbell | Registered: Nov 2005  |  : BlueLightning302 ¯ Member # 3974 posted                              its not recommended. you should do a search at svtperformance.com. -------------------- Originally Member #935 2003 Mustang Cobra - Some mods "Well, atleast the slow one's trying!!" - Al Bundy Posts: 207 | From: San Jose | Registered: Jan 2004  |  : 94gt ¯ Member # 3060 posted                                 there's an ongoing debate on weither its worth it or not... some tuners turn it off in the tune, some don't. -------------------- 2020 Explorer ST 2011 Silver Raptor 'Screw Posts: 5777 | From: Beavercreek, OH | Registered: Jul 2003  |  : TRIXSNK ¯ Member # 2844 posted                              http://www.rpmoutlet.com/boost%20bypassc.htm Mine's turned off in the tune -------------------- 9 Sec EVO 9 is GONE!

I've never heard of it actually kicking in on a Cobra but it is very common on the Lightning's to activate while racing on the 1-2 shift. The easiest way to turn it off is to simply unplug the electrical connector at the top of the valve. -------------------- '90 Mustang LX: 8.53 @ 157.92 w/ 1.33 60' on DR's '10 ZR1: FOR SALE '14 E63 S: RENNtech ECU '04 Gallardo: UGR TTG Posts: 2121 | From: San Jose, CA | Registered: Aug 2001  |  :
