Hey guys, I tried taking some pictures of how I have wired up my valve, but there isn't enough room and other engine parts in the way of getting a good pic. sorry. Ok , so heres what you do.... first you need to unplug the solinoid which is located under the turbo pedistal. It is very simple, just a two wire plug in connector. Next, disconnect the accuator rod which runs parallel. There is a clip that holds the rod onto the tit that sticks up from where the mouth of the turbo is. Once the rod is disconnected, just push the tit away from you to open the valve and take some wire and go from the tit to pretty much what ever you can find to wire it to. What a major difference! I had struggled for a year before I did this. I was about to get rid of the truck due to the lack of power and poor mpg. I will try and get some pic. , maybe I can move some stuff around to get a better view. Hope this post helps. Trust me I am not handy at all and I did it! Let me know how it works for you. You will notice the difference immediately.

So is there really any downside to this other than it will take longer to warm up in the cold? I guess bases on everything I have read this would only really work if the solenoid isn't working correctly and causing this valve to be shut when it shouldn't be. If everything is functioning properly, this really wouldn't have any extra positive effects, correct?

Someone told me about this, but they took an old lever and encased wire to run to it - with the lever inside the truck (just so he could keep it closed to warm faster and open once he was driving)
