Need Help! Hose To Stock Boost Solenoid

[wang]

Hi guys, this is my first post ever pretty much because all my other questions have already been covered!

Just need peoples opinion on whether the hosein the photo is connected properly. I had my Greddy FMIC put on a while ago but never really paid much attention to how everything was hooked up. Any help would be greatly appreciated Engine is and RB25DET. Also I know that this has been covered lots, but i'm still unsure whether it is safe to run without the vacuum hose with the brass restrictor.

Hose into the plenum

Where the hose connects to boost solenoid

Thanks in advance.

it will work where it is, because it's still getting a pressure reading. but a better option would be to fit a nipple onto your cooler piping, before or after the intercooler, and run the hose from there.

here's what i mean

as for the brass restrictor. i think that enables boost to come on more smoothly, with less chance of spiking.

Monkeys correct in solution, by the bulge in the blue hose, i can see its not too oversized... id still chuck a zip on it for peace of mind
