Re: [480 2.0 '93] Shock on/off switch

pump shuts off when there's no engine activity on turbos. that's why you hear no buzz from tank before you start it. it needs a signal from crank sensor to start pumping.

Re: How to do a 710N recirc valve upgrade!

this is a very very strange place for a recir valve!

it should be as a bypass on a primary of the turbo, not before the idle regulator!

it's a direct swap when in correct place..
