Leading evidence: 'Use search box and type in "pse diode"' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use search box and type in "pse diode"' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My c4s has PSE on it and on idle and rev in neutral it sounds great. off the line it also sounds great. but when I'm on a spirited drive sometimes in the higher RPM range it almost goes silent... is this normal? Does the Fister D muffler set up sound similar to PSE? I'm debating on swapping out if the fister is a little louder and more aggressive in the higher RPM range.

POST 2Original post

the stock PSE has a preset decibel cutoff between 30 ish and 50ish MPH (not sure of the exact MPH) due to some lame euro sound restrictions there is a hack where you cut the lead to a diode to eliminate the signal from the speedo so the PSE doesn't cut-off Try doing a search for "PSE hack" that may be the cause of the quiet PSE you are experiencing I did the hack, took about 15 min, now i'm totally loving the glorious PSE music

Sweet! will this hack eliminate the function of the PSE button in the cabin that eliminates the noise all together? i do like that feature and use it when im pulling the car into the garage late at night and don't want to wake the kids ( i own a restaurant and have many late nights!)

was this it? https://www.renntech.org/forums/topi...e&fromsearch=1

POST 5Original post

No, that’s not the correct hack it involves removing a relay from the drivers side footwell, opening it up and clipping one of the diode sides and yes, the switch still works to make it quiet when you want it tot be quiet

POST 6Original post

Does it affect the switch light itself and it's ability to illuminate properly?

POST 7Original post

No, everything works as it should, except the PSE does not get the signal from the speedo to go quiet between 30 to 50ish

POST 8Original post

i'm not the most adept at this newfangled computational device here is the path to follow to find the link use the search box and type in "PSE DIODE" then go down to the thread titled "modifying my pse so it doesn't shut off at low speed" (or just do the search for that title) the link is in post #8

POST 10Original post

did this a while back and was very happy. get why it was done, but glad it's undone on my car.

POST 11Original post

Prefer to have the cutoff at highway speed, car is loud enough with tire noise, etc.

POST 12Original post

Is this possible on a 997.1? Does it differ from the 996 instructions?

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can someone post a link to a pictorial thread? Everything I pull up has no picture or they are off line and blank. Don�t want to start cutting wires unless I�m absolutely sure it�s the right one!

POST 14Original post

check out the second link in post #9 above scroll down and you will see the pics

POST 15Original post

Quotes source post: 14963058

from what i've read, the 997 cutout is done by the DME, there is no analog relay to bypass

POST 16 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I finally got around to doing this and its amazing! One more question though, I did not completely remove the diode, i simply just disconnected one side off of the PC board.... is that ok or should i completely remove the diode?

POST 17Original post

I just snipped the diode wire and left both ends attached tot the board no troubles so far
