which wire in the ecu do u planning on hooking it up ?

i made a little switch for someone ages ago.. it had a led on it that used to flash when it was on etc.... there was 3 pins..

1 went to the power source, 1 to the ground and other one to the power source (white wire i believe) on the solenoid (not the ground wire like normal.. but we did permanantly ground the ground wire..)

if that helps at all

Well I just did mine last night and it works a treat. I actually got the switch upside down but I don't care. Mounted the switch on the dash behind the wiper wand and put the ground wire on the transmission bolt rather than in the engine bay. Shaweet!!!!!!

did u end up hooking it up to a wire on the ecu ??

not trying to be a smart ass :( im just curious as to which wire it goes to on the ecu ??

Yes. I did it as per my previous post

ya but which wire on the ecu did u hook it upto ???

All I did was snip the black wire which runs from the ECU to the actuator. I didn't touch the white (power) wire, and put a switch to connect the black wire back up. I didn't touch the power wire as I didn't use an illuminated switch.

My setup is abit different from everyone else's. Is it still ok to do this mod since the 2nd solenoid nipple is being used?

And if so, which wire goes to ground, white or black?

Your setup is the way it should be Wink, the way it was when your car left the factory. All the pictures on this thread except this one are horrible mutations (like mine :)).

hey sorry if this is a bit off topic but does anyone know where the return air tubing on the solenoid goes to? i know it goes back to the intake somewhere but i cant find the exact spot. my solenoid has been removed and i wanna check if the hole has been plugged up properly.

Pics would be muchly appreciated.

Thanks!

this could be the most stupid question on this thread, but -

if i were to pick up one of these boost controllers and a guage, could i replace the standard solenoid with it? im an ex XF falcon man - this sh*t is space age to me, and i respect those of you who understand it and pass on your knowledge and tricks!

if it is possible to substitute the solenoid with a boost controller, what happens with the pos and neg wires from the ecu?

Sorry about the late reply.

Yes, you substitute the solenoid with the boost controller...as the solenoid essentially does the same thing just that instead of allowing more boost it actually limits your boost.

You need to install the bleeder on the pipe going between your intake pipe (after turbo) and your wastegate actuator:

Its the pipe with the white joiner bit in the middle. By looking at your boost controller I would assume you would first plug the line into the nipple marked with the arrow, then plug the other end into the remaining nipple but if that doesnt work, try the other way around. Shouldnt matter anyway.

Hope it helps

hey guys, i just got myself a turbotech boost tap, can you help me install it, this pic, which is someone elses is clear enough to show me which hoses connects up etc....basically can you use microsoft-paint or sumthin to show me which end of my boost tap goes to which part on the intake/solenoid....hope thats easy to understand, even just labelling which hose is will help out, (ie wastgate actuator hose)

i'm really new to all this but would like to do this myself

thanks

p.s do i need to return this high boost mod to factory before installing the boost tap?as i heard this mod limits the boost from going over factory levels?

Edited by nsta

can any tell me which pin the black wire goes to on the ecu? Just so that i can do the whole mod from inside the car?

& why can't i just connect the 2 pipes up that go to the solenoid to get the same effect?

Q..and is this trick worth while doing if you have a boost tap?

A>.if you already have a mbc, this wont do anthing for you as you have already replaced the boost solenoid with the mbc

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
