So every time that I have taken my sled out I blow the bellows. I start out at 6lbs of boost, and would go up to 8lbs. I have glued, and safety wired them in. They still blow every time. Well after seeing that Piston driven Rave Valve from Supreme Tool was working. I called Mark to get the time-frame and cost. Well $480.00 and not until April was to long, and to much. So got thinking, and talking with another member here about some fixes. Thought, why are we trying to fix the problem, and not coming up with a solution. So just like what (NUTTYN01) did. I pull a pressure valve in front of the the pressure solenoid. So I stopped in at Advanced Air Products in Murry, Utah. http://www.aapautomation.com/. I told them what I was looking for and trying to do. This is what they gave me. AirLogic preset regulator set at 5psi. Part # PR70051B1B. It has a max inlet pressure of 150psi and an outlet pressure of 5psi. So there is nothing to set, or nobs to turn. They did not charge me anything for it, so I don't have a price for you.
Well I rode yesterday to try it out. Works great!!! No blown bellows!!! Rode all day at 8 pounds of boost. Then turned it up to 10Lbs for 30 mins or so. Then we went the the hill that really takes a turbo to make it over. Did four long pulls up it at 12lbs of boost. Seeing that I have a new top end on the sled did not want to push it more than that. At 12lbs of boost this thing really rips. So no more blown bellows. Its an cheap and easy fix. Now you guys with block off in can get your low-end back.
