Hey guys,

Ok im getting a manual boost controller and ive just got some questions on the installation casue i really do not wanna stuff this up lol. Car is a 1996 R33 s2. I know you have prob been asked these questions a million times but i just want some clarifacation. Ive done a search on here and its been helpful but all the pictures are missing from the posts and its hard to work out exactly what to do.

From my understading (and correct me if im wrong please!) i have to place the actual unit on the hose between the wastegate and the turbo. Basically i cut the line and connect the hoses to the 2 nipples that come on the controller. Which way does the arrow have to point?

Secondly i need to know what to do with the solenoid that currently controls the boost. I have heard that i take off the 2 hoses that go to the solenoid, but do i block them off? Some pics of ppls engines with a boost controller installed would be really helpful so i can get a visual of what im doing!

Thanks in advance, any input in much appreciated!

my boost controller is plumbed in between the actuator and my intake piping (as close to throttle body as possible). I think you can use the same hoses that connect to your original solenoid. because you are basically changing one solenoid for another.

your not cutting anything your removing the T piece linking standard solenoid to actuator blocking bottom line off solenoid with small bolt, connecting mbc between i/c piping & actuator. somewhere on here is instructions & photos
