Gutted, but I also have a conflict with a family event. Really is one of the best events of the year.

My daughter calls it Toothless the Dragon: My ‘95 TT Z

Back from my family holiday to find goodies awaiting

New turbos by Pulsar. They’re GTX2860 Gen 2 with a 0.64 AR. They’ll provide plenty of boost headroom at the top end and get the most out of my head/cam/valvetrain set up. I’ll no doubt lose some response, but the GT525’s used to build boost too fast resulting in issues with boost control and boost spiking in the midrange and they ran out of puff after 6,000 rpm where they were effectively choking the engine.
With these and my Haltech setup, I should be able to have progressive boost build early on but still a strong midrange and not have boost taper off at the top end, and not have to push them to the absolute limit to get the performance levels im after.

Power Steering Solenoid - Does it have an ECU Pin?

While I am still confirming the signal coming out of the speedometer, I took a closer look at the gauge itself.
After removing the gauge from the cluster housing I spotted some discoloration.
This happens to be near a fairly sized electrolytic capacitor.

I already spotted a trace that is potentially broken, so I began cleaning the area with a soft toothbrush. Sadly, even the softest bristles caused the solder mask to flake away. Since it didn't matter any more I switched to 2 jewelers cleaning brushes, one fiberglass and one nylon. Sure enough, the damage to the trace is more visible, but it passes under a resistor and I don't know where it leads.

Removed the resistor, and unfortunately lost it, but thanks to the photos I know what its value was. Anyway, with the resistor out of the way we can see that the trace is definitely broken, and simply passes under where the resistor was.

Now that its confirmed, it has been patched using some thin wire and the resistor replaced with a 10k through-hole that I had. Also attempted to tin the exposed copper traces while I was at it. Admittedly, this will need a little cleanup before I re-seal the board, but it should help at least slow down any more deterioration of that section of traces.

I've already reattached the board to the gauge and put it back into the cluster. I'll be testing it later when the sun is up.
