Hi guys, i have connected all pipes from the boost solenoid up apart from the bottom one that goes to the air intake resonator box, when i went to connect this up i realised that it has been plugged up with a screw...... Why would the previous owner have done this? And what should i do with the pipe from the bottom of the solenoid? Thanks

 

do you have an induction kit?

 

As i told you in your last thread. The bottom hose goes to the stump on the air box resonator. If the stump has been stapped of, which often occures, then the hole needs to be sealed as it will be taking in unfiltered and unmetered air. The bottom hose can then be left to VTA.

There is no good reason to block the hose that i can think of.

Remove the screw from the end of the hose though, which ever way you go.

edit: There should be a small brass restrictor in that bottom hose, close to one of the ends, if that is missing, then it may cause you boost issues.

 

Sweet, thanks alot for the help.

 

Yup, i have a cone filter....

 

answer your phone

 

If the solenoid's return to inlet hose has been blocked off, you won't get any more boost than actuator spring pressure.

 

That is interesting ! mate of mine is running a shytty Apexi S-AFR with the bottom port hosed and blocked in favour of an induction kit, he is seeing no more than .7 boost atm ?

 

in that case id take a guess the filters been fitted and someone didnt know what to do with the pipe and blanked it off. ofcourse should have been left open to vent to atmos

 

There's your answer then

Either return the BCS bleed off line to the inlet pipe after the AFM, or if there's nothing to connect it up to, just let it vent into the engine bay

 

Cool, first thing I said was er why is that blocked off lol, you appear to be missing a pill a connection . Only makes .7 in high or low boost Mine just vents
