Stock Boost Solenoid Hose/Fitting Diagram?

Post by vica153 »

I have been using a MBC, but I feel like checking to see if the stock solenoid works or not. It was "broken" when I bought the car for the engine swap.

I have searched, but everything refers to an old diagram that can't be accessed anymore.

The solenoid has 3 fittings: 1 on the bottom, 1 on the side near the bottom, 1 coming out the top.

I'm guessing: Bottom=compressor, Side=Wastegate, Top=Bleeder.

I'd like to be sure i have it on correctly before I declare the solenoid broken.

Oh wow, I was just getting on here to look for this same thing (putting a EJ22T into my RX and was missing the solenoids and lines) and one of the diagrams made it super easy to figure it all out. Thanks guys!
