what do you mean the boost light up mate?? have you got a boost controller?? or are you on about something to do with ure boost gauge?? be a bit more specific

 

[Vglanza]

have you got it switched onto high boost?

 

[starlet sr]

boost

hey m8 depends on wot boost your runnin if ur runnin on low boost u will only get 2 lights and on high boost u should get 3 lights

 

[Marty!]

sounds like u have the low/high boost botton push in

think he means on the dials. think glanzas have green squares which light up as you go up in boost and go into red when high in boost. hard to explain but is this what you mean?

ahh rite that explains it...just another extra on the heavy glanza ayyy:homer:

well yeah as above then guess its not hitting high enough boost which would mean he needs to turn his low boost option off

 

[kyle22glanzav]

yea i have tried it with hi and low boost and i dont get more than 2 sqaure lights lightin up, how would i change the boost apart from the hi/low button then.

 

[Stulet-GTT]

Welcome along to TGTT....

 

[kyle22glanzav]

so when the buttons pushed in is it on high or low boost, im probly sounding stupid but i cant work it out lol

if you want to up the boost mate you will have to go for a adjustable actuator but not without supporting mods...wouldnt know about the clocks on a glanza have i havnt been in one but could the small bulbs of gone in the clock cluster??

guys i have a glanza and there is no red light that lights up.
all three will appear when you are in full boost.
if you have the hi/low solenoid still active ,
then you wont get three lights until third gear,
have you tried in third guys?
is the solenoid still active?
rep me please.

 

[www.glanza.co.uk]

Push the hi/low button on and off, and a seperate light on the dash should light up. I'm sure you'll be able to work out what's high and low boost from that... Also, you won't get full boost in the first 2 gears when you're in high, as this helps to reduce wheelspin... Full hi boost is available from 3rd gear onwards...

yea 1st and 2nd i get 2lights but in 3rd i still only get 2 lights and im pretty sure its running high boost, culd be the light in the dash but it doesnt seem like its boosting full.

Maybe the last led dont work, try taking the clock's out and check it...

mate if you take a run out in the car and, push the button in there should be a little light come up under you rev counter,this will indicate low boost, if so push the button again too switch too high boost, you should see the light go off, your boost light up too three(providing there isnt a blown bulb)and should feel a difference in the car pulling wise, now if there is no difference when you switch from low too high, you could have a sticky soleniod. and therefore could be stuck in low boost.

ok mate cheers i will have to take it on a long straight 2moro

 

[Vglanza]

just also saying i get Full boost in first and second, and car was standard, only got an exhaust on and boosting ful three bars in first and second.

 

[glanzaj03]

the car runs in high boost normally, then when you push the button in that switches it to low boost. as said above, mine only hits all 3 lights once in 3rd gear to help with traction in 1st and 2nd.

 

[jayc-glanza17]

got a boost gauge? standard high boost is .65 bar.
check the solenoid mate,
i have heard off a mate who had fuel cut,
and sounded similar to this, but i dont think you have this,
as he had the solenoid bypassed.
