i fitted the evc not so long ago and the settings were 1.0 (low) & 1.1 (high).
my car can go up to that level of boost with no problem.
one day, the car overboosted to 1.3, so i hv it checked out.
the mechanic found out the problem after a test drive. there was a cracked hose which connects to the evc & boost solenoid valve....so the guy replaced a new hose for me.
after that, he saw a plug that wasn't supposed to be plugged to the solenoid valve (ecu signal plug or something like that)....so he unplugged that and tied it up nicely and put the plug aside. (so there's no plug now, the guy said with evc installed, no need to plug that in)
when he reset my evc to my previous settings, my car takes longer to reach the desired boost and it can't reach 100%. (when set to 1.0 = 0.9 & when set to 1.1 = 1.07) - and of coz my car doesn't overboost anymore.
here is my question:
shud i plug that thing back to get a FULL boost or quicker boost?
