    Vacuum line routing/boost control issues

    Having any issue with a 2009 SS 2.0 turbo with and aftermarket turbo setup on it. The customer is the one who istalled all the components and I am doing the tuning on it. I can't seem to affect the boost psi with my tuning changes and I need to make sure that the lines to the control solenoids are hooked up properly. Can seem to change lines around and go from 20psi to 30psi and fuel cut so any help here would be greatly appreciated. Even a picture of your BOV and WG solenoids and where the lines go would be awesome. Thanks Erik

    If it has aftermarket wastegate and bov I don't think you can use stock controllers for it. What turbo is he running?

    You can use the stock solenoid with a EWG, Ive used it several times.

    Exactly like factory? lol Run a line from your compressor housing "usually there is a fitting on the housing of precisions close to te outlet" to the solenoid then from the solenoid to the WG.

    I believe I was talking to the guy you were helping and got him straightened out.
