Default Zev and other shop places - can you get me

a new N75 Valve and a new boost sensor

we are trying to get to the bottem of this weird overboost thing that happens when not on throttle. The next step down the problem solving line is the boost sensor itself and the n75 valve. How much are these two parts and how fast can you get them?

I know i know I should just call but there so many different sources and I'm in the studio working

greatly appreciate it

Default I still wonder about the intermittent nature of your problems. --->

Don't want to repeat myself, but have you used contact conditioner on the N75, MAF, and boost sensor connectors? I would even clean the ECU connector.

If the duty cycle remains constant, or linear...and boost fluctuates a lot, check for leaks.

Default Dealer carries it as "Stabilant 22A, P# ZVW 186 001. --->

Contact cleaner from Home Depot is almost as good. With that you can really flush out the contacts. I've heard several accounts where an intermittent contact in the ECU connector caused the weirdest symptoms.
