Quick Boost Controller Install Question

Hey guys. Just got around to installing my HDi EBC-R. I found a hole through the firewall for the hoses and cables and tee'd the boost line from the unit onto a hose coming off the intake manifold, but I'm a bit confused as to one of the solenoid connections.

The instructions say one end is to be connected to the wastegate actuator and the other end to the turbo. I found the actuator hose fine, but just not quite sure which hose comes off the turbocharger. I did some research and found some people connect it to the intercooler piping instead? Would that be alright for this case? I'm running the stock SMIC on an R34 GTT. Also, does anyone know what the top hose on the standard solenoid goes to? I traced it to a gold pipe with a bend in it located under the intercooler piping but not sure as to what it actually is/does.

At the moment, the stock solenoid looks like so with 2 hoses coming out, one of them tee'd:

_____

l l________

l _________ ???

l l

l l wastegate actuator

l l ________l l_____

stock solenoid l _______________ intercooler

l l

l l

l l

___l l___

So I guess my question is, instead of connecting the new solenoid to the turbocharger, would it be okay to connect it to the intercooler piping like some people have in other boost controller install guides? And also, what would I do with the top hose coming out of the stock solenoid? Block it off? Any help would be greatly appreciated! :P

Block off everything on the stock boost solenoid. Unplugging it might bring up an error code though so I wont tell you to unplug it, you can experiment with that lol.

If you have 1 side of the ebc solenoid hooked up to the actuator thats fine. Other side needs a pressure source, this can be off the compressor housing (u dont have one so pass...) you should have a nipple comming off an intercooler pipe or worst case get a T piece and T off the big vacuum line that goes to ur carbon canister and make that go straight to the solenoid on the port that requres a pressure source. There should be a pressure source somewhere in that area though.

Heres a pic of a greddy profec b spec 2 install diagram, will be same principle.

      Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.

      It shouldn't swell like that, (just looked it up) it should say SAE J30R10

      Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.

      Don't want to side track from the thread too much (don't want to upset the thread starter's run from 2007) so here's some old rusted Nissan Laurels in a parking lot in Nishinomiya, Hyogo-ken:
