hardcore Member 92 Member For: 16y 5m 3d Gender: Male Posted 15/12/08 08:54 AM Share Posted 15/12/08 08:54 AM Yeah I have read it over and over. I have the pipe that comes from underneath the turbo and have connected it back to the top as I know it came from there, I also have 1 other that comes from a silver thing right next to the turbo and have it connected to the one that comes out at a right angle. Just not sure what pipe goes to the bottom plastic connector as I can't find another hose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure the car doesn't have an aftermarket electronic boost controller fitted. Or perhaps the stock item stopped working and has been changed out with another unit that isnt stock.

hardcore Member 92 Member For: 16y 5m 3d Gender: Male Posted 16/12/08 06:48 AM Share Posted 16/12/08 06:48 AM I'm not sure. its a bf mk2 ute, bought it with 17 000 k's on it and was told it was all stock apart from being lowered.I have removed the battery and all pipes nearby and there is no sign of a third pipe. Just not sure if It is safe for me to drive with one plastic part with no pipe connected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scar Donating Members 177 Member For: 17y 1m 9d Posted 16/12/08 07:52 AM Share Posted 16/12/08 07:52 AM Mate, the standard solenoid utilises the 2 outlets which you have mentioned, but there is also a third which is capped and not used. Have you knocked the plastic cap off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scar Donating Members 177 Member For: 17y 1m 9d Posted 16/12/08 10:56 PM Share Posted 16/12/08 10:56 PM I usually just give it a 5 second spray down the solenoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevet Member 85 Member For: 16y 5m 8d Posted 16/12/08 11:58 PM Share Posted 16/12/08 11:58 PM I just want to know if there is any benefit to spray down the hose that goes to the turbo and the other pipe that goes who knows where?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
