Old Factory Boosy Controll

[DAS KAMU]

Hi,

I have an after market hks evc boost controller on my 32 gtr

and since im looking to clean out crap from my engine bay

am i able to ditch the factory nissan boost solenoid and hoses etc etc?

the hoses lead somewhere but would they still be connected if the car has a boost controller?

thanks

Possibly left on to appear the car doesn't have aftermarket boost controller, the plenum vacuum source would have been blanked off (factory hose going to the bled source at the back of the engine, can't be used by the EVC) while the factory actuator hose was most likely re-used for the EVC. Hoses connected to it probably go to nowhere, try taking the hoses off the factory solenoid.. the engine will start idling like crap (vacuum leak) and you'll hear/feel vacuum.

with further reading those hoses on the factory boost solenoid there should be going nowhere yeah?

Idle the engine and pull the vacuum source off, it will hiss if its still physically connected to the engine, the actuator source when blown compressed air in you should see the front turbo's actuator rod move at 10+ psi (engine doesn't need to be running).

If either of the above ring true, then it's still physically connected. If both are false, then by all means start ripping those hoses out and get rid of the solenoid.
