    Disconnect boost soloniod when using Gizzmo?

    Hi All,

    I've just fitted a Gizzmo IBC but I'm not sure what to do with the original boost solenoid. Do I leave it plugged in? Or should I disconnect it completely, including electrical connection?

    Thanks a lot.

    Aah perfect.


    Does anyone know - does the IBC serve as a boost gauge too? For example, if I'm driving along and on boost should this reading show on the IBC?

    Thanks.

    It shows but it's not easy to watch. A boost gauge with a peek hold is your best bet
