Question ATP/Aftermarket Turbo Kit Boost Line Hook-up w/ Stock Boost Solenoid + MBC

I am currently running the stock turbo/ECU w/ a MBC.

I am installing the ATP gt3037s kit this weekend, and need to know how to hook up the boost lines to this new kit from my stock boost solenoid in order for my MBC to work right.

The previouse kit owner had AEM EMS, so he was no help because he used the AEM boost solenoid.

I am pretty sure the new kit has a nipple for boost lines on the turbo, lower intercooler pipe, and 2 on the wastegate.

So can anyone explain to me where i need to plug which boost lines into? I think it would be easiest if someone could explain it from how i have the boost lines hooked up to the stock turbo/wastgate from my MBC right now and where i should put them on the new turbo setup (Ex: The line hooked up from the mbc to the turbo will go from the mbc to the new lower intercooler pipe hook up; or something like that).

Oh, and i'm not sure if this is turbo kit specific, or if all Garrett turbo's are going to be hooked up the same way with the stock boost solenoid and MBC; but any info helps.

Thanks guys.

Answer from ATP rep:

1. The stock boost control solenoid can be hooked up the same way as stock
but via the new connection points like this:

a. Pressure source previously came from the compressor housing, you now use
the pressure source provided on the 90 IC pipe provided. Reason is the
Garrett turbo is not tapped for pressure source so we put it on the pipe for
you. This is the pressure input into the solenoid.

b. Wasteport previously connected to your stock turbo wastegate actuator
nipple will now connect to the side port on the external wastegate. There is
also a top port on the wastegate, but you just leave that open for vent if
you're using the stock boost control solenoid.

With the above hooked up, it will work like stock.



That being said, ATP responded with the exact answer to my question in such a reasonable time frame, i am SUPER impressed.
