Any one have problems with there blower belt slipping because the solenoid is not dumping boost when you let off the gas? seems like my blower belt is slipping,if i took the bypass off and just unpluged the wires to the solenoid, would that do the same thing and let the unwanted air out?

 

Not sure, but this may help:

so the by pass dose not stop the solenoid from getting rid of the extra boost on deceleration?

 

ANYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sal,Johnny,Jim.......... ANYBODY.

 

Most unplug the boost bypass and do not experience belt slippage. However, to combat this problem that some have, a Goodyear Gatorback belt may be a good solution to pursue. I have mine [boost bypass] unplugged and run a 4# with no belt slippage, even when I'm letting off the gas quickly after a WOT blast....

 

I heard if you use the by pass it totally disables the solenoid and when the motor decelerates[spelling] the air gets trapped in the intake, and thats what makes the belt slip. What I really want to know is should I take the bypass off and just unplug the solenoid?or dose unpluging the solenoid do the same exact thing as the bypass?

 

the boost bypass mod is a bad idea because it disables the system at all times.

simply unplugging the solenoid is a better method because this prevents boost dump at WOT, but not at idle or closed throttle situations. plus unplugging the solenoid is free.

That is exactly what I was lookin for, can anyone varify this?

 

I don't see how disconnecting the boost dump solenoid has anything to do with the boost bypass...

 

The bypass works on Vacuum, the boost bypass mod on enables the solenoid from activating the bypass thru the computer. If the Bypass was totally disabled, on a full run when you let off the gas your boost gas would still show boost because of back pressure. Also, if your Bypass was totally disabled when cruising at 70MPH you would be under boost, I dont know about your trucks, but mine isnt always under boost. Although it is true that unplugging the soleniod does the same thing, the $5 bypass kit eliminated the soft code that occurs when you unplug the soleniod. Hope that helps answer any questions.

 

I think due to the wording you chose that the issue is somewhat more confusing. Which option do you say is the best? Unplug or Bypass mod?

 

IMO I don't think there is a "best" way to do it. They both accomplish the same exact thing. Unplug the solenoid first and run it. If for some strange reason you get a soft code then consider the bypass mod. I never have gotten a code on mine, but some have from what I have read. I also only unplug mine for the track. Hope that helps...

 

I don't have a boost bypass solenoid and it works for me...

 

For under $3 and a trip to home depot. You can do the "mod". The only thing this mod does is to prevent the computer from dumping boost should you over spin the engine during a burnout (and the following 15 seconds).

Just spend the $3, splice it in, and during a burnout don't over rev the motor. It's as simple as that.

This whole "mod" has been blown way out of proportition. As well as it's intent and effects.

Just unplugging it is not too bright if your concerned about warranty issues. With ford just looking to jump on owner abuse situations it's just an invitation for them (should you forget to plug it back in). And only a sharp tech would even catch the "mod" to begin with.

What WOT said.

If some of you guys knew what hell you were talking about then you wouldn't sound like idiots half the time. Somebody tells you something and you take it as gospel without even checking it out. I'm sure the people that know how bad the boost bypass is have never ran one and wouldn't have a clue.

I read so much hearsay BS on all the boards these days that I'm sure it's hard for a newbie to tell which end is up.

I run 80 and 90 mph with the gauge still showing vacuum NOT boost.

When I chop the throttle the guage does NOT show boost.

I wasn't in a good mood when I read this thread and I'm sick of reading BULL*****.
