Turbo Time USA Lightning Bolt VGT Solenoid 11-16 GM 6.6L DuramaxWhile some may have mixed feelings about Variable Geometry Turbos (VGT) they have a huge advantage over their fixed geometry counterparts in that they can dynamically adjust their "size" using an internal moving vein or a sliding nozzle. What this means, is that upon takeoff, the turbo can act like a smaller charger, but then open up as RPM and boost increases, delivering the airflow of a larger turbo. Beyond this, another big advantage to these kinds
While some may have mixed feelings about Variable Geometry Turbos (VGT) they have a huge advantage over their fixed geometry counterparts in that they can dynamically adjust their "size" using an internal moving vein or a sliding nozzle. What this means, is that upon takeoff, the turbo can act like a smaller charger, but then open up as RPM and boost increases, delivering the airflow of a larger turbo. Beyond this, another big advantage to these kinds of turbos is that they can essentially be "tuned" due to their electronic solenoid, and up until the point where Turbo Time USA developed their Lightning Bolt Performance VGT Solenoid......no one had done so yet.
The Lightning Bolt Solenoid is designed to help you get the most out of your turbo (especially upgraded turbos) and diesel driving experience without artificially manipulating your system to operate more like a gas vehicle. Forcing a diesel to perform more like a gas vehicle is often experienced with products like throttle controllers, modules, or specific tuning that alters VGT vane percentages and/or causes the transmission to regularly downshift raising rpms to achieve power response.
Some of these application combinations may reduce the effective benefits or even conflict with the Lightning Bolt Solenoid operation triggering a CEL.
NOT recommended with products like “pedal commanders” or “throttle boosters” that manipulate throttle system percentages that often yield an artificial “in the seat” response feeling while reducing efficiency.
NOT recommended with tuning that restricts VGT vane percentage ranges and/or causes the transmission to downshift when applying throttle for demanded response by increasing engine rpm instead of utilizing low-end boost production from the turbocharger in order to generate power as originally intended for diesels.
TUNING - Some tuning especially with emissions may manipulate the vane position percentage range that can conflict with the Lightning Bolt operation which is intended to operate with full range. This can lead to a CEL and trigger codes such as "over-boost" or "exceeding learn limit".

Great story and illustrations!
I purchased this book as a Christmas present for my toddler nephew and it became his favorite new book of the year!
I had read the story randomly in a store some years ago as the title, awards, and cover illustration caught my eye. Growing up as a 90s kid, I cannot recall being exposed to a variety of diverse books especially ones that take place in the city and Last Stop on Market Street stuck with me. It depicts the city life well, how for some the only transportation is the bus, and the value of community by giving your time to help and connect with others.
The illustrations are beautifully done and the story captures both CJ's imaginations and observations wells. My brother especially loved how wise CJ's grandmother is as she guides him during their journey and teaches him at a young age how to help those in need.

A beautifully written and illustrated story about a young boy and his Nana and their loving spirit they share with others
Format: Hardcover
This is a simple, but beautiful story with heart. It is told by a little boy who apparently lives with his Nana. The illustrations are scenes painted in brilliant colors. C.J., the boy has many questions to ask his Nana, like why they have to ride the bus or always to do the same thing every Sunday? Nana patiently and gently answers every question and helps C.J. to open his eyes and his mind to the beauty around him. This book teachers children compassion and to look for good and beauty in people and their surroundings. It models empathy for those who have less than one has. Nana has a lovely spirit and great wisdom. She makes one feel that she is a lady one would like to know. Nana teaches the joy of giving back to others. This is a book I will read again and again.

Wonderful depiction of the city & finding gratitude
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book after moving my young family from SF to a very homogeneous suburb. Rode MUNI with my kids & at the time didn’t realize how diversity is taught passively when it’s all around you. Fast forward, my kiddo makes a comment in preschool that shocks me & realize that she’s now in such a bubble. This book is clearly nostalgic for me, but for my kids it’s a chance to talk about all the different lives people live. A chance to talk about race, culture, homelessness, privilege (riding the bus instead of a car, not having a music player), people with disabilities, etc.
To those who choose to post about the grammar In this book, good authors work very hard on depicting dialects, which are 100% a part of one’s culture. Take the opportunity to discuss the diversity that exists in language too. My goodness, white people from Boston add & delete Rs like crazy (Cubar instead of Cuba, ca’ instead of car). 🙃
