just block off all 3 pipes individually with some hose capped off at the end..this should solve it.
PS have you checked for error codes?

matthewn

iTrader: (1)

yes checked, no codes fella,there is one pipe that isnt blocked off, the other just links from one port to another.

Ok so what year / version is your scoob?

1995 4wd turbo wrx import, v2 mate, gonna block thepipe off thats just loose when bleeding rain decides to stop !

Same year as mine..im just taking my mbc off and plumbing the boost solenoid back in.
Have you plugged just the green connectors together (under steering column) to see if everything is working ok (that's when you should here the solenoid constantly clicking)

matthewn

yeah , all ok. so, if i take the controller out , just two ports, the pipe from turbo goes?, the pipe from actuator goes?. on my boost solenoid i have the top hose linked to middle and bottom is just there with end open?. any help would be great bud or pics, i no thats a big ask but im quite capable in doing stuff myself as lond as i have instructions.

This has the plumbing pics for your 3 port solenoid. .
Just to add, the bottom hose can hang loose as long as it has the restrictor pill in it..If you have your original airbox fitted the resonator box will have a pipe connection where the bottom solenoid hose usually goes. But what iv done is capped off the connection on my resonator box and left the bottom solenoid hose free (as just described)

I just got the ESL board for mine, looks like its gonna be great! I've also removed the blitz controller that was on mine as I can control the boost from the ECU now

I just need a 3 port now too!

nice one, let me no what its like chap, heard really good things about it, are you getting the software too so you can map yourself?

piehole1983

iTrader: (7)

Yes, I have it all already. I've only really plugged it in and had a look at the various maps. I haven't changed anything cos I don't feel confident enough yet lol!

Here's a very comprehensive instruction manual for the software, I recommend downloading it and having a good read!

im not sure if the restrictor pill is still there, where do you get them from and the classic is 2mm isnt it.

piehole1983

iTrader: (7)

They are all different depending on the model but yea I think yours is 2mm. I've heard of people using carb jets as restrictors. There's a thread which has all the pill sizes and locations, I'll try to find it now.
