Water in boost/vac line
Hello all,

While diagnosing a failed 3 port solenoid for my aem truboost I noticed a substantial amount of water built up in the vac/boost supply line.

Has anyone seen this before? If so what are the possible causes? I also see water spots where it has been dripping from the exhaust port of the solenoid. I have attached a photo showing the port full of water.

Supply line is coming off the intake manifold. Solenoid was mounted on passenger side shock tower.

You are correct. I do not have a supply nipple on my turbo to my source of boost is at the intake manifold
