Replacing dead cycling valve
I think I've narrowed down my bost problem to a dead cyclingvalve - 12V across th eterminals wont make it click (except for a couple of times afer I hit it). Unless I'm mistaken, these things need power in order for you to hold boost, so they fail safe.
This means I either need to get a new cycling valve, or another boost controller. Replacing the CV in situ seems to be a PITA - having to take off the intake doesn't soudn like fun.
How much do they cost ? I haven't found them anywher eyet.
How well do MBC's work with the stock (shimmed) wastegate ? Is that a viable option ?

I totally eliminated my CV cause with a LBE or a Reliaboost it can cause boost spikes, plus it makes the lines simpler under the intake. The little plastic nipples kept on breaking off on mine so I said screw it and deleted it.
