Just a link on how to remove the boost control soleniod restrictor for 91-93. Not mentioned very often, and free, safe 20hp. Should be everyones first mod to get a taste of more boost :)

I did it before i put in my Boost Controller and i recommend it to everyone. car feels stronger after this, and all you are doing is bringing it up to the 94+ specs.

- a little blurry, but all you really need is to see which hunk of plastic is the boost solenoid, and read the proceedure. should take 5 mins.

(hint for getting it out, I used a fishing hook, bent it straight, stuck it in the opening, and hooked out the restrictor with the barb on the hook. but do what you find works best.)

happy boosting :p

Sounds like an interesting free upgrade. Following on monopoly's question; has anyone else tried it that can verify the before and after results on a quality boost gauge. Since I'm new to the 3Si world, I'm holding back until I see some numbers.

But I really want to try it...........

i did the mod!
i tried bending a fishhook like eddie did but all i had in the garage wa sa set of old ones that kept breaking. so i used one of those metal pokey things u use to stick in turkey's to see if there done or not:)
it took me about 15 mins cause the hose was bein stubborn to come off!
