Unless Simon has suggested otherwise Lomas, your best option would be to take the car to him with the solenoid in the glovebox and have him fit it.

Your boost control will be all over the place until it's remapped so better to wait until that can be done. If you're not driving the car until the remap, it's not like you're losing out.

The T-piece gets removed and fit it like above pics.
