Well he said he used their cai and cp's.. I dunno if it specific for that turbo or not, I'm still in for pics, if I can keep my charge pipes an intake, that'll cut a couple hundred off the price.. I'll be good with around $2.5k dependin on results.. The tune'll really set it off. Dyno number's are Dyno numbers, but I wanna see this thing in action

That's what we are contemplating right now. Im pulling all my know how from srt4 standpoint and applying it but if I can just figure out the solenoids then ill know where to go with it.

i wish i would of taken a pic of how i had it... i just dont think this car likes to have an external WG... or might just b me... i changed the spring of the WG and still couldnt go over 24psi... we went thru a manual boost controller and i could drop psi but not go over 24... it was weird... if im looking at it correctly (cant really remember much) it was the nipple from the top of the solenoid goes to a T on the intake vac line, then the right nipple goes to the WG and the top nipple goes to the turbo? cant recall much but I THINK thats how it was... dont quote me on it tho lol

Yeah i think, from looking at those pictures, it's because you tee'd the solenoid into the valvecover/intake breather line and it needs to be set up with the boost reference directly off the turbo to the solenoid with a tee'd line going to the lower port and the solenoid which then actuates the WG from the upper port from the other sidenof the solenoid ...if that makes sense.

Basically the solenoid was always reading a vacuum so the pcm never upped the duty cycle on the wastegate (which a MBC should have fixed unless hooked to the same place). With it hooked directly into the boost the pcm will regulate the pressure inside the wastegate to where you want it based on the tune. and yes i have entirely too much free time at work
