doing this from memory, but here goes.

top pipe on the solenoid is pressure feed (it shouldn't matter, because i don't think it's a 1 way mechanism, but from memory, that's how it is). run a vac line from the intercooler piping, to this. bottom pipe on the solenoid, is connected to the t piece. the hose with the restrictor(s) in it, goes from the t piece to the blow off valve return pipe (it's under another pipe, have a look around for a nipple). the last hose, goes from the t piece to the wastegate.

just in case i'm wrong, be gentle on the car when you put everything like this. if your car really surges, something isn't wrong. your solenoid might not be getting power, in which case, your wastegate isn't getting pressure and your car is free-boosting. this is bad for your car and your turbo. if you have a boost gauge (all turbocharged cars should), you should be running no more than 7 psi in standard form. the series 2 stageas run a dual stage boost control, around 5psi up to about 4500 and then 7 psi from there on. it is not uncommon for the stock solenoid to be grounded (by a previous owner), however, which will give you 7 psi all the time.

i don't have a pic i'm sorry. if you have a search for the 10 minute boost mod, there should be some pictures somewhere :D

Nick's description is correct. While you're at it you may as well bypass the solenoid and get 10psi but you will need to find the restrictor in one of the lines and make sure it is in the bleed line (or else make one up from a weldind tip or by soldering up the bleed side of the T and drilling a hole in it.

    • I’ve dedicated my career to the car transport industry. Over the years, I’ve worked across every part of the process — from arranging pickups and managing drivers, to ensuring vehicles are delivered safely and on time. I know how much people value their cars, whether it’s a family vehicle, a dealership delivery, or a classic car, and I make it my responsibility to treat every transport job with care and transparency. As an independent member of the Car Transport Association, I represent not just my own work, but also the broader interests of customers and carriers. I believe in raising standards across the industry — better safety checks, clearer condition reporting, fairer pricing, and honest communication. My approach is practical: solve problems before they happen, make processes easier for drivers and customers, and always keep the focus on reliability. What sets me apart is my commitment to clear communication. I provide updates, photos, and accurate delivery times so that customers know exactly where they stand. My goal is simple: safe, transparent, and trustworthy vehicle transport, every single time. If you’re looking for a partner in car transport who values accountability and professionalism, I’d be glad to connect.
    • Because sometimes I do dumb shit and because I kept thinking about 6.6kWh worth of PVs wouldn't be fully enough if I'm consuming during the day as well as charging. So I did a thing, added another 5kW of PVs lol. Since there's a spare MPPT port, why the fk not?
