3 port boost solenoid
 
Can anyone explain or even better post a photo, of what a 3 port boost solenoid looks like on a 99 Impreza. I have just bought one and it doesn't appear that the connector is the same.
The one I have just bought was taken from a 94 WRX. Are they the same fitment.:wonder:

Thanks for the quick response.
That appears to be the same one as I have just bought, but it doesn't clarify what year it fits.

Ok from what i have chased they will have different connectors, a case of chopping off the connector and soldering on the correct one.

Thanks for the above, but why solder on a connection, whats wrong with electrical connectors?

Right.................when it comes to classic's or anything mildly technical I can be a bit of a :freak3:

There are 3 outlet pipes on the solenoid, but 2 on my original, what connects onto them.:wonder:

Bob is it you that bought it from me on ebay?

If so it came off my 94/95 car, Bottom port is a vent.. top goes to the compressor outled and middle goes to wastegate actuator..

As per this pic http://www.graphics.cornell.edu/~v/v...22t_vacuum.png

Cheers
