hi all just a quick question about the hi/lo boost in this picture is it by-passed and this will result in .65bar boost in 1st n 2nd n not .45 ? ? beacuse mine is set up different but feels like hi boost and all three lights light up on the dash which ive been told means its in hi boost mode so to speak all the time cheers craig

I'm not sure of the exact boost you'll achieve but yes that's right. It has been bypassed judging by that photo and you will hit 'hi' boost in the first two gears. When i bypassed it though, i hit fuel cut a few times so switched it back so it was restricted.

yea i thought it was in the picture but mine is set up with the hoses not swapped but i still get all three lights coming on in first and second and defo feels like hi boost and my hi/lo boost works but this wouldnt if it had bypassed the solinoid ? ?

Having just recently bypassed the solenoid I can tell you that even when you have the retriction in place in high boost all 3 lights will light on the dash, however in low boost only 2 will illuminate. So even though all 3 lights illuminate, you could still have limited 1st and 2nd boost unless it has been bypassed.. Definetely worth doing though, lots of fun!

Just so you realise that you will have no high or low boost through the controller operated through the dash as the controller is now totally bypassed, so regardless whether it's on high or low it will always be boosting to the maximum ammount.

Swapping the pipes over means that boost is no longer restricted in 1st and 2nd gear, this will also deactivate your hi/lo button so there is no point using it as it has no effect...

just 2 clear this up a bit for people.. all cars are different.. my car wasnt boosting fully with the normal setup so i bypassed the high/low solenoid and now gettin full boost.. some cars work grand with normal setup and some dont..probably solenoid related.. low boost is only really for icy conditions as it restricts the turbos boost therefore reducing wheel spin.. as explained before low boost can actually increase fuel consumption so better off just keeping it in high which ever way works better for ya.. bypassed or normal way on high..
