turbo plumbing help
Discussion
can anyone help me please, i'm not sure how to plumb in my turbos. My boost on my old ones was set by the actuator so they had a pipe going from the actuator to the turbo. My new turbos need to be arranged with a boost solaniod which i havent got a glue how to wire up and plumb in or even where to mount it. Any help would be good.
Cheers

Very simple to mount and connect.
Mount it close to your vacuum pipes local to the map sensor, should be on the air intake, find anyx suitable way of mounting it, hopefully you will be able to mount it next to the map sensor on the air intake manifold.
You leave the top open to the atmosphere, on the bottom you connect the vaccuum pipe that goes to the turbos, put a length of vacuum pipe (say 12")then a T piece to go off in each direction one to the front turbo actuator and one to the rear.
You now need to plum the sensor into the rest of the vacuum pipes, there should be one going to the air intake (90deg), then it T's off to the map sensor, then it T's off to the fuel pressure regulator, then it needs to connect into the side of the boost solenoid.
I'll see if i can dig out some pics.

You just need to set up the boost solenoid and vaccum pipe system same as they do on the 3 litre cars. I was just looking at the picture of that new turbo, i would turn the actuator round 180deg so that you have easier access to attach the vacuum pipe, you can see there it is pointing towards the compressor housing, better if the vaccum pipe is pointing away from the turbo.Cheers

here is a pic of the boost solenoid mounted on a 3 litre
you will see the vacuum pipe that connects to the front and then goes down a then T's off to the front and back turbo actuators.
You can also see the vaccum pipe that goes to the air intake manifold, to the map sensor, you cant quite see but the fuel regulator also T's in and then finally it finishes the loop by connection into the botto side of the boot solenoid.
I am hoping you will have a spare cable tied up somewhere in the engine bay, that connects the boost solenoid to the ECU, the connector will look the same as the one that connects to the mass airflow sensor, which should be on the pipe that goes from the intercooler to the throttle body.

Ive tried to spin it around some how but it doesnt moveSteve
