hi all has anyone got any ideas how to fit a 3 port boost solinoid to my99.
its only got a 2 port and jgm has told me it will help with the remap hes doing soon.
i carnt take it to a garage because ive got no insureance and tax and dont wont to waste the money on that till after the remap.
the ones ive looked at seem to have 3 hoeses on the and mine only has 2
any ideas

 

if you fitting the 3 port one then there is a thread on here from today with pics and notes on where they are plumbed in

 

yeah but where is the turbo outlet nipple

 

is that not the one actually on the turbo its self. as you look at turbo from front of the car. it is on the top right

 

thats joined to the actuator which is already has a hose to my 2 port

 

 

thats great but the middle port and the top port are connected with a t piece that then goes to the 2 port.
should i just under this and connect it like in the diagram

 

Unless Simon has suggested otherwise Lomas, your best option would be to take the car to him with the solenoid in the glovebox and have him fit it.

Your boost control will be all over the place until it's remapped so better to wait until that can be done. If you're not driving the car until the remap, it's not like you're losing out.

 

The T-piece gets removed and fit it like above pics.

 

is he coming to u mate? i had a 2 port in mine an bought a 3 port. when he came down he told me where they went an changed in 5 mins. easy job. worst part is the connecting electrics as need to swap the connector

 

thank you slipstream

 

Later cars had -pipe from turbo outlet to a tee pipe,in the middle is a restrictor or pea.the straight end of tee goes to turbo actuater,the other pipe goes to boost valve that returns to inlet

 

yeah hes coomin out. if he knows how to fit it thats ok i suppose.
thanks all you guys
