I found info on the Apexi home page about fitting. The wiring diagram I found on the Link homepage, because the Apexi instructions is not very clear on that.

Regards

I know from experience that the MY99 version is a piece of pish to fit, just atke the time to get things just right.
you need to look at the apexi website link above and download the wiring diagram for your MY and its self explanatory.
solder and clamp the wires to make sure that the connection is sound!

Pneumatically disconnect the Subaru solenoid but keep it electrically connected. Block off any unused hoses, such as the one recirculating back in to the intake. You can, however, if you wish, recirculate the NC port back into the intake, MAF metered air leaking and all that, but the effect is probably tiny - I did it for good measure.

Question

this is that bit that lost me in manual.

the nc port should be kept open to atmosphere
keep hose length as short as possible
suabru vehicles require a way to connect to the solenoid valve.

Don't think there is anything special about the solenoid valve on the Subaru. Pull rubber off, leave wires, how else do I put it? Just straightforward on mine. You can happily leave NC to atmo, might be simpler.

As John has already stated, leave the Oem subaru solenoid Electrically connected and either blank the solenoid ports or leave vented to atmosphere.
