Tillix boost control removal for engineering certificate

[omi-y61]

Good day,
Going through the process of registering ACT and asked me to get an engineering certificate specially for suspension mods. 2016 ZD30

Question, when I met with one of the guys (listed as approved certifiers) , he asked me to remove the boost controller .

Below are few images, I have g&l eco shop with hi flow Garrett turbo non ZD30.

is this straightforward as replacing T socket with straight socket and cap on air cleaner side. or additional things involved after removing. (for few days). does anyone know place in ACT to get this done/checked?



Thanks
Omi

Does this guy want you to hook back up the stock boost control (VNT vacuum solenoid)?

Question is the stock vacuum solenoid still under the bonnet, plugged into harness sitting there or do u have the resistor mod?

Is the G&L Eco just a throttle control unit?

Can help u out depends what is needed and then guess you will revert back to Tillix/needle valve after inspection passed.

A much simpler way would to be to hide the valve from sight. Buy some longer tube and run it so its clearly out of sight. Thats what I did form my engineers cert. Zip tied it on the underside of the intercooler.

Maybe even put some split tube around it to look like wiring. But yes definitely hide the controller.

What ever is needed to keep the inspector happy short term but would be best keeping the boost controller in the sys (hidden out of the way) as the high flow turbo fitted most likely could push 30psi. So best to have a cap on that.

Question @omi-y61 have you a ECM remap and what max boost you running at the moment?

After all these years I still can't believe they are still using those shit, cheap chinese bleed valves too.

He did swap suppliers, and I got one of the first ones.
It was a big improvement.
But looked exactly the same.
