Image

The large hose straight out the bottom of the bigger goldish soleniod goes to the intake track after the AFM, but before the turbo.

The other large hose coming out 90 degrees from the bottom goes to the wastegate actuator.

The smaller one coming out 90 degrees from the top of the goldish soliniod goes to the nipple on the turbo outlet.

The very small one coming from the other soliniod near the reddish-brown connector goes to manifold vaccuum. One of the three nipples near the throttlebody.

The open nipple on the soliniod with the reddish brown connector gets looped around and connected to the open nipple on the last sensor in the picture. That's the MAP sensor, the one with the open nipple pointed down sort-of hidden by the wires.

not that I am taking credit for the diagram, but just deal on beers anyhow.

btw, is your name a Camus reference?....


also, welcome aboard and all. And why are you ashamed that your mode of transport is a flat-bed?

$135 before shipping from 1stsubaruparts.com for all those hoses. Is it a good idea to do this or just buy some silicone hose in those diameters and cut it yourself?

The generic stuff does not fit as well as the OEM.
You could go either way, depending on your budget, but be prepared for hoses not snugging properly if you go aftermarket.

Are you in the UK? Number plate looks like it...

Nice camper... is that one of the side-tilt pop tops? Devon, I think?... Cool flares, too.
Where are you putting the radiator?

I've never had a problem with vacuum hose from the auto parts store as replacement. I zip tie all the ends just to be safe. No problems yet...

.... im going to have to go with aftermarket hosing as nothings located in the same place as the car......

I wish mine was the flat bed most of the time :lol:

yeah, im in the uk......the pop goes straight up,, which is a nighmare when you try and get it down as it always falls one end at a time and never lands where it should....
Radiator is going underneath at an angle (front end down as to scoop the air) got to try and work out a lifting mech as i'll need to raise it for speed bumps ( us brits love em :x )


came across another problem at the weekend.....

does anyone know what this is .....and does so i can work out where is wires too....

Looks like the resistor that is only used on the automatic transmissions. Was it near the pressure sensor/MAP sensor?

That's most likely the dropping resistor for the auto transmission, or it may be the resistor for the daytime running lights. Either way, you don't need it.

I replaced all the smaller hoses with universal, they all fit pretty tight, and it was something like $10. The bigger hoses you have to get elsewhere though...
