IF you have a boost controller then it doesn't matter what it does. It is for the factory boost controller, it keeps boost to 5-6 psi when the car is under 4500rpm once it revs past this it lets it boost to 8psi. If you don't have a boost controller then reconnect it because you only be getting 5-6psi through whole rev range.

But by the looks of it you have a boost controller in so reconnecting it won't do anything.

I dont have a boost controller and the standard one is unplugged at the moment, plugged it back in and it didnt seem to be any different but I didnt rev very high 4000-5000 maybe.

Can I bypass it al together and run a hose straight from the intake pipe to the actualtor and get full boost all the time??

*UPDATE*

At first I was told that the solonoid gave the car low boost in 1st and 2nd gear then full boost in top cause mine is auto.

But it seems that the guys on here are right and I plugged it in again took it up over 4500 and can definantly feel the difference in power and the boost is a bit higher on the gauge also, dunno why the previous owner would have pulled it off(He simply unplugged it).

Now it pulls great up top and even better when the Profect B goes on soon .

Thanks again for the link and help guys!!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
