OK ppl I have read the DIY section on this and I maybe a little slow. But first is the wire we cut the black or white as I have been given both suggestions. I have done the black wire option on my Stagea and not sure if is has worked (don't have boost gauge). My other Q is do i ground it from the solenoid or do I earth it proir to it going to the ECU and leave the Black From the solenoid hanging in the breeze with no connection.

Can someone with the smarts clear this up for me. From my reading of the DIY it is the Black wire but it doesn't tell me which side to earth wire coming from solenoid of wire to ECU.

A pic of the wires cut on a stagea would be great.

Cheers in advance, ICE

If u 't' the black wire halfway between the plug and solenoid, then run that 't' wire straight 2 the body with good earth. U should notice the difference the first test drive. It will 'shot' off the line from a standing start quicker than prior 2 doing mod, plus there won't b a lift/ serge in boost from 4500-5000 rpm because it is already on the higher setting (due 2 mod.). Hope that helps.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
