| - | On this page, we cover the typical installation configurations for an electronic boost control solenoid. There are other ways and other solenoids, but we're going to focus specifically on what we've actually tested to work.

| Because we have to test several different solenoids and have to maintain the ability to test other solenoids in the future, we have a small pigtail made up using a connector found randomly on the 2G wiring harness. | Because we have to test several different solenoids and have to maintain the ability to test other solenoids in the future, we have a small pigtail made up using a connector found randomly on the 2G wiring harness. | ||

| The following is a diagram of the basic 3-port solenoid air valve. One port will be "common" to the other two ports. When the solenoid is activated (energized, turned on, whatever), one port will be "connected" to the common port. When the solenoid is deactivated, the other port will be connected to the common port. | The following is a diagram of the basic 3-port solenoid air valve.

| The typical installation will involve routing the hoses so that pressure is applied to your wastegate actuator (which opens the wastegate and reduces boost) when the solenoid is deactivated. This provides some safe guard against a solenoid failing in a deactivated state (typical failure state) or becoming electrically disconnected. In either of those failures, you would simply end up with wastegate pressure (typically around 10-15psi) as your resulting boost pressure. | The typical installation will involve routing the hoses so that pressure is applied to your wastegate actuator (which opens the wastegate and reduces boost) when the solenoid is deactivated.
