I'm going to install one of those tonight and I was wondering if someone could give me some pointers cause im such a newbie on turbos

I think I wont have any problems connecting the electrical part
but the plumbing in the hood is where im not sure what to do
should'nt be any problems connecting the pressure sensor , only question is where it's best to connect it, i've got a boost gauge, wondering weather its ok to connect it on the same pipe by installing another T or weather I have to connect it on some other pipe

then on to the solenoid.. thats where im not sure what to do.. because all of the drawings in the manual confuse me, not sure weather to use the actuator or wastegate installation and just how to connect all of it the right way.. havent found any guides on the net with pictures.. that would be awesome if there were any

if anyone can help me by giving me some pointers it would be great

 

This should help also keep the OEM map sensor plugged in otherwise it will throw a cel.

what do you do with the orginal boost solenoid and the plumbings that connect to it

 

Leave the solenoid pluged in but not conected to hoses.

 

Saw a posting stating that its ok to remove all the old stuff so long as you put a resistor (App 10K Ohms) accross the solenoids electrical connector.

This will just cause a slight current load to accross the connectors, which must be all the ECU is looking for,,,i.e no sensor connected = no current load

Give it a try, will be trying it out next week when I get around to fitting my own AVCR.

would maybe try it if my car would be on the road :] currently in a big make over
the engine died on me , burnt cylinder so i bought a 2007 wrx engine, tranny and ecu + complete loom, and its currently at a guy whos connecting the new ecu and loom , engine and tranny already in the car , will be fun to know how it will perform

 

Make sure you change the rear diff ratio to suit the new gearbox.
