Before I start my car (ignition on, but before I start cranking the motor) I can hear the boost solenoid clicking. Is thatnormal? I hear it in the car because it's mounted on the firewall.

 

Mine does that too.

I spoke with Jeff Evans in regards to this, and he told me it has to do with how it's setup in the AEM.

Basically you need to turn it off, or have it not activated when their is no boost pressure...so in vacuum it wouldn't be working.

Thats a generic explanation...I'll look for my pm from him, and copy/paste the info.

 

thats normal, it can be setup to not do that but it dosnt hurt anything.

 

Found it.

 

I believe you can set it up to come on at a certain mph. If i remember right, mine doesnt come on until i am over 5 mph.

 

Where, I don't see it?

Wouldn't that be an issue if you were trying to build boost on a 2step?

 

Devin Pearce from aem set it up that way when he tuned mine. It means you will be building boost off the wastegate spring only when using a two step setup. I think that should be plenty of boost for off the line but you definitely dont want to run a two step on the stock valve train.

 

its just a test when power up thats all to see if it works or not

 

what does the stock valvetrain have to do with a 2step rev limiter?

 

Its very bad on the stock valves and they cant handle it. It will warp the valves over time and cause any number of them to drop.
