Awesome! Just what I needed, I will be re-plumbing accordingly! It is definitely a series 2 engine (1996 car, and no spark amplifier on the back of the engine block). Any ideas as to the connection back to the turbo? Even though this is not the stock actuator, will there be any problems plumbing it in as stock and blocking off the connection to the turbo? Cheers, Dave

Once again many thanks. Here are some wider angle shots to show the carnage surrounding the boost solenoid and the extra tee behind the I/C pipe (the blocked off hose from the T in the last picture can be seen just below the I/C pipe): There is no hose coming from the top of the actuator, just one from the bottom, which is connected towards the turbo (not sure what its connected to see the second photo in my second post just behind the actuator rod)with a loop of hose. This looks original but I'm assuming it can't be because its supposed to be tee'd in with the line from the I/C pipework before being connected to the solenoid is it not? Cheers, Dave

Thanks for the advice. The car is running the low 0.5 bar boost all the time so getting the standard solenoid plumbed back in would be an improvement! As to other mods its been lowered, and had a cat back exhaust replacement. Engine is standard (other than the bypassed solenoid!). Having done a bit more poking about looking to connect to the waste gate actuator I've run into a couple of problems. Firstly the connection is on the bottom and not on the top of the actuator like the other pictures/diagrams: And secondly it is connected to something further back towards the turbo: The photo is a bit rubbish but essentially the hose from the actuator (back shown on the left) is connected to the bottom of that nut in the centre of the picture. Is the actuator standard, and is it connected correctly? Do I need to tee into this to connect it to the solenoid? Or have I got it all wrong? Any help is much appreciated. Cheers, Dave

Hi guys. Just bought an R33 gts-t and looking for some help and advice on reconnecting the original boost solenoid, as when I picked the car up it had a bunch of hose ends filled with screws. I've searched about and haven't found any pictures which make it totally clear what goes where. Here is what I have: The hose marked 2 is joined here behind the I/C pipework (is this standard?): Am I right in thinking that hose 1 (from the I/C pipe work) needs to have a restrictor in it and is tee'd with the hose marked 2 and connected to B on the boost solenoid, leaving hose 3 to be connected to A. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Dave
