Boost Solenoid Question

[JOE27BAJA]

Hi I have had my TY for about 5 weeks and only drove it about 30 miles. Today I went to remove(delete) the factory air box and I noticed something on the boost solenoid. If you are looking down at the top of the solenoid there is one port on the left side and two ports on the right. The top port on the right has a line going to it and the botton had no line at all going to it. I looked all around for that line and cannot find it. So my question is do any of you know where this line connects to, I feel like a D.A. for even asking ...... Thanks

Nothing connects to it. I don't know why it is there but there is no hose, wire, or anything else that goes to it.

Should be like this:

The other one HAD a foam block shaped filter on it... they all wear off. Its the vent for the solenoid.

There was a factory air filter (POS) on it.

I just want to test to see if the turbo will build boost or it there is somehting wrong with wastegate I I put a manual controller on and it runs fine I sould know there is something wrong in the boost signal or the solenoid itself butI will put it back once I eleminate some stuff :tup:

Again, I learn something new. Mine has nothing and I remember reading other posts about nothing being hooked up to it. I'm assuming that air filter thing was not necessary.?.

Re: Boost Solenoid Question

the air filter was a small piece if foam. nothing to worry abut
