Boost Solenoid Setup
 

Hey all, I'm sure some of you are running boost solenoids to control boost levels. How did you set yours up? Pics are welcome. (No **** pics please, I get enough from JAR. If you must, inbox me only tasteful nudes with pictures of the Z in the background)

This did a pretty good job of explaining the mechanics of this kind of systems to a complete n00b like me.

Are you wanting to use Ecuteck to control it or a boost controller? Get with your tuner to see how he wants you to set it up if you use Ecuteck.

Ecutek. Good advice, thanks Spooler.

Vince should be able to help you. Specialty Z sales the 3 port solenoid and wiring adapter you would need to use to steal a port from the evap circuit.

Here you g...


oh wait nvm

Forgot you only have one turbski, only need a 2 port MAC valve.

That's the one I've got. After doing a fair bit of reading earlier, I think I see how to set it up correctly.

3 port boost solenoid. Doesn’t change with one or two turbos. Run a boost pressure source to port 1 on the solenoid, vent port 3, port 2 to the top of the wastegate or wastegates. Boost source to the bottom of the gates. If your running 2 gates use tees to join the hoses, use brass tees or similar not plastic. Heat wrap the hoses
