If I block the atmospheric feed on the solenoid whilst it's idling it will move the the vnt arm so there can't be any vacuum issues, the solenoid is show battery voltage to one pin and 2.4 volts on the other pin.
The map sensor has a 5 volt feed and and a 1.7 volt output at idle.
I'm guessing when the engine conversion was done they left the swirl flaps in the inlet as you can hear the engine note change when you when I move the arm, in one position it doesn't smoke at all and won't build any boost or run properly over 3k so guessing this is shut?
And the other position it will build about 12 psi eventually and smoke lots.
So need to look at removing them at some point.
Could the problems be that the new solenoid is faulty? It was 2nd hand
