Just a quick question - had the throttle body off to change the fuel pressure dampener (pressure was fluttering) so had a peak inside the inlet snout and down to the intercooler core. Should the bypass valve actuator normally be open or closed with everything powered off? Mine is wide open. All looked pretty spotless down there, almost too clean. I can’t remember if this was open or not last time I had the TB off (about 20k miles ago) Have seen a few pictures either way, what’s the norm? Car seemed to drive fine last time which was a few weeks ago but was short and low rpm - I doubt it even got into boost. Thanks in advance
When engine off, key out, that is where it rest's.
And yes it is clean which means you have none or very little oil blow by circulating around so that's good.
Thanks for the info guys! Figured all was fine but just couldn’t remember how it was. Great tip on the TB connectors what a headache that would be to figure out.
