need stock banjo bolt
Anybody have a stock banjo bolt the want to part with? I need to replace the Autothority bolt with the stock ... and the PO didn't include it. I could pull the restrictor off, but then I need a boost enhancing bolt to sell with the old chips when I get a Guru MAP kit.

Adrial, Exactly the case <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
I have the restrictor removed at the moment so I can run my boost controller, but I would like a stock banjo bolt so I can sell the APE setup if I move to the guru MAP setup. APE is no good without the boost enhancing bolt.
Is the stock banjo bolt already threaded to accept the restritor or is the threading only on the APE bolt?

It has nothing inside of it, so I am running without the boost enhancing bolt. The car runs great, lots of pull, what do you mean by APE is no good without it. Since I don't have this restrictor jet in my banjo bolt, I am assuming I am running stock boost. I want to increase boost and was thinking of getting a MBC, like the Huntley model. Is this what you are doing right now. How does the MBC work with the APE chips. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

MBC works great. The APE chip comes with a restricted banjo bolt with a brass fitting in it. This, for simplicity, 'fools' the cycling valve and wastegate into boosting ~14psi instead of stock(10-11?? I think).
My MBC is great(lindsey unit) ... I moved it into the cabin this weekend so I can change my boost at any time from 10psi to 20+(I stop at 14 with these chips). You have to be careful of the air/fuel ratio getting too lean with APE chips.
What are you boosting now? If you don't have an aftermarket boost gauge(mine is VDO), GET ONE. As you're making upgrades, it is important to understand exactly what your boost is doing. The stock unit can't be used for more than general reference.
