FOSTA Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) Shouldn't that hose be connected to the side port of your wastegate mate? If I remember right connect a vacumme hose to the top port on your wastegate to the solinoid And the side of the wastegate port I connected a vacumme hose to the solinoid and T'ed the vacumme hose to the turbo hosing.

ashbuster Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 not sure what boost controller you have but normally you should have one going to the turbo and one to the wastegate *edit* beaten to it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Shane_ Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 I have Apexi AVCR That was my understanding too. Boost solenoid has 2 feeds. 1 feed should go to wastegate 1 feed should go to turbo housing All i have connected is hose going to turbo housing. So with the other hose not been connected does that mean im not running boost via the boost controller etc ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOSTA Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 It means you will only be boosting the wastegate spring pressure. So if you only have a 7psi spring fitted then the wastegate will open at 7psi so that's the max boost you will have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
