shouldn't matter, hook the greddy one directly to the wastegate actuator and directly to the port on the turbo for pressure reference.

There is no boost control sloenoid stock. The wastegate runs off pressure from the turbo and thats it.

The boost controller you're adding modifies the (pressure) signal between the turbo and wastegate, and thats how it controls boost.

There's a pressure sensor on the passenger side strut tower, if that's what you're asking.

nah i wasn't talking about the pressure sensor. thanks though...everyone else also. was reading the instructions and it was talking about capping the solenoid off.

well anyway i have the unit hooked up. one more question, i have the hose from the turbo going into the NC port and the the wastegate line going into the COM port what about the port with NO on it.. do i plug it at all?
