Almost no boost, code PO243
So one running issue is solved and a new scan reveals this code, which is listed as 'Supercharger Boost Selonoid Control Circuit'. Ive also lost pretty much all boost in the past week
Help!

Re: Almost no boost, code PO243
The most likely cause is a bad boost control solenoid.

Ok, so I've tracked down a way to diagnose that (love google lol). Now is that a part that can be replaced on its own or is it something bigger like the whole supercharger that will have to be done?

The Part circled yellow is the Boost Controll Valve
The Part circled blue is the Solenoid

So how would I go about ordering a replacement? Is a used one ok?

Re: Almost no boost, code PO243
You might also check to see if you blew the vac line off the port under the supercharger snout.
