What pipes go where? 2 port boost solenoid
 
Ive tried a search but can only find info on 3 ports.

Cheers

What year? normally 1 to the turbo and 1 to actuator

97 model, one is tee'd to the turbo and actuator and the other either goes to the inlet or the induction but im not sure which way round they go on to the solonoid

Sorry can't help ya i have a 3port but the only difference is on the 3 port you have 1 to the air flow??

So if you move it round then would be turbo on the side and inlet on the bottom :wonder:

as above for what goes where - but if you get them the worng way around, then you will get boost problems (over and under and fluctuation of pressure)
...I know this cos when I got my car I had the above problems and eventually sorted it by reversing the hoses!

good luck!

Thanks guys im hoping someone with a 2 port will fill me in.

rentonone, 2-port is same as the pictured 3-port... EXCEPT it does away with the recirc pipe/restrictor pill port at the very bottom - see pic.

So you simply loop the BCS in between turbo compressor outlet nipple and the wastegate actuator port. As can be noted, the top-side port goes to the turbo and the bottom-side port goes to the actuator.

Simple :)

Are you sure mate because on mine the turbo nipple and the actuator pipes are tee'd into one. Or maybe someone has pipes it up wrong before.

Im thinking though, if i loop the bcs in between the turbo and actuator like you say there would be no where for the bcs to bleed air out.

:wonder:i may be wrong though.

Hmmn. That's a fair point. Indeed, where would the air bleed off to, so as to raise the boost on the 2-porter :wonder: (Perhaps that's wrong info then - confused now :confused:).

Unless!... You're supposed to hook it up as mentioned, but have a short length of vac hose with the pill in, tee'd into the w/g line, venting to atmos :wonder:
