Correct. The JDM MAP is only required if you choose to regulate your boost using the MAP sensor instead of the factory load-based system.

I'll give it a shot!

I have an old taken apart stock BCS that has the plug intact if someone wants it... I have another complete stock bcs but I'm going to hang on to it for now.

OK so would anyone happen to know which nipples go where? There were no instructions so I'm not sure which would be the boost source and which would be the WGA... assuming the metal one is for bleeding.

HUGE thanks!

Looks like I might need to get a barb for my turbo inlet BUT I've been using MBC's that bleed "open" so I'm going to assume leaving the intake return line open may not cause any problems.

Here is how I mounted mine... double sided 3m tape with the new magnum vac lines from boostcontroller.com... they are 4mm ID but very thick walled.



Now that I look back... I had probably 5 or 6 plugs I could have used with the GM solenoid. I had to find the stock bcs wires and solder them to the old connector anyways so it really wasn't plug and play for me.


If the performance is nice I'll consider it worth it... I received it from Tatrix.com in 2-3 days

Hi Justchill,

How has it turned out for you, have you had it turned yet? Nice photo for the set up mate.

Cheers Steve

I've moved it a little but it's in the same area... My car doesn't run yet but it should in the next few days. I'll let you guys know how it works!

Good luck with the tune mate. Have you set it up in interupt mode or bleed?

I am interested in the old solenoid as I can use it to make a somewhat cleaner connection to the GM boost solenoid I already purchased. Can you PM me? I will gladly pay shipping.


Thanks

I'm not sure why you would fear clipping two wires to install the GM 3 port. Its less work than installing a boost gauge. Its also conveniently hidden from view. No one can tell its been clipped.

No fear of clipping simply no desire to clip IF I do not have to.

thanks though
