what are the things circled in the pics? March 24, 2008, 04:57:19 PM Ok here are a few pics i took of my engine bay and ic. What are the things that are circled? The one with the 2 hose ends cirlcled go to the piece circled on the ic. Also, i want to add a bov but do not know where to put it or how to go about it or what kind to get. Plz let me know.The one in the first pic allmost looks like a starter solonoid, but a little different. Has a 2 ports for hoses that someone has just looped back to itself, and has and electrical connector.ok here are the pics Quote Selected

Second one is the vacuum generating nipple for the cruise control. In the third picture, you circled a line that goes to the fitting on the intercooler, and then the line from the turbo inlet that you have circled goes to the other nipple on the fitting on the intercooler.Unless you use cruise control on hilly roads, all of the cruise control stuff isn't needed. I removed and plugged the fittings, capped the nipple on the turbo inlet, and removed the line up by the vacuum manifold and capped it. The purpose of that setup is so that the cruise control still gets vacuum while under boost.Also, what is that relay for right by your boost controller for?Looks like you have yourself a mess under the hood Quote Selected

Reply #3 – March 25, 2008, 09:17:06 AM to the best of my knowledge that hose coming off the turbo inlet should run to the waste gate actuator or boost control selinoid. it looks like in your pics that they have ran the adjustable boost controller hose from the vac tree.
