Title: Why 95% duty and not 100%? Post by: terminator on December 15, 2022, 06:28:10 PM I wonder why manufactures set the maximum duty cycle at 95%? It's because the wastegate is already closed at 95%?

If you set it to 100% it can stick. Depends on the solenoid of course, but clearly they felt it was necessary with the classic N75. Title: Re: Why 95% duty and not 100%? Post by: terminator on December 16, 2022, 09:41:44 AM Thanks, I thought about it but wasn't sure because it seems I had never such a problem at least with VAG TSI.

Don't forget, a solenoid is basically a wire coil. Impedance is 0 for DC, which means unrestricted DC current of V/R (power = V^2/R where R is the DC resistance of the entire circuit). with a duty of <100 there is enough impedance to cap the current. |
