Remove the solonoid and the rubber pipes to it, & get yourself a can of carb cleaner spray or similar.
There are 2 green plugs under the dash, switch everything off then connect these together then turn the ignition on (not to start the car), the fans will start cycling and the solonoid will be opening & closing.
Then spray into each of the ports on the solonoid (lots of cloths needed for this, it's verrrry messy!!
), you may well see crud coming out, give it a damm good spraying, then switch ignition off, unplug the green connectors and let the solonoid dry out properly before putting it back together.. job done! have fun

Dont have any pics I'm afraid, you can't miss the green plugs, under the drivers side of the dash, they kinda hang down just waiting to be plugged together
Boost solonoid is under the flat plastic cover top left of the engine bay with the two clips on the top, remove the cover and you will see it, IIRC its only bolted down with a couple of 10mm socket bolts..
