Just looking at using my ICV in my FI setup and was wondering how it works?? is it only open at idel and then closes at higher RPM or would i need to put a one way valve in it someware to stop boost escaping??

cheers, matt

Thats his profile, u'll have to email or PM him directly as there isnt much on the forum about it, apart from it breaking down and needing a tow!

He isnt hard to find, as he owns the site!

the ICV works only at idle speed, to basically allow the engine to idle. when you open and close the throttle, you can hear a little click from the TPS. this click is a signal sent to the DME whcih responds by sending another signal to the ICV to allow for idle. as soon as the TPS is open, the ICV is shut
