HOW TO - Control boost using ECUFLash and 3 port GM boost solenoid
Can someone put up the correct vacuum tube routing for the stock WGA? The images on the initial post are down. I need to know how to hook up the GM BCS in terms of the hoses before tomorrow.
The side that has the single nipple goes to the compressor fitting and the nipple that didnt come w/ the filter on it goes to the wga. I know this isnt a diagram, but should help.
Today I have installed my GM Boost solonoid.
I'm a little bit confused abount the ports.
I have checked the flow without power (WGDC =0%) and the air flow from port A to C which was already worked out here.
Then I powerd the solonoid with 12V (WGDC=100%) and check the flow again.
The fow is then between Port A and B. The C Port is closed.
Have somebody changed the lines between port A and C? Maybee the boost can than be a little bit more stable because the pressure is released at port A and not jamed at the port C.
This means also that there is not venting very much air out of the B Port, because the C port closes and so not very much air can went out.

The metal port goes to a pressure source (compressor outlet pipe for the stock/variant turbo guys), the port that does not have the foam filter on it goes to the wastegate actuator and the port with the foam on it goes to the underside nipple on the induction tube (take off the foam).
If you vent the foam port to air, keep in mind that is air that has been read by the MAF that you are venting to the air.

Thats an interesting idea Joe, would it actualy make boost any more stable as with the 3 port I never get near 100% WGDC, I hit 1.7 bar at 85% on the stock 7 turbo. Give it a try and let us know.

I personally don't think that will help you much at all. If you are sourced from the outlet elbow its basically going to be seeing 100% boost whether it is bleeding it off or not. I would imagine that the only thing this would do is create a small "boost leak" (though still metered if you are going back to your intake pipe post maf).
The real problem here is that your wastegate may not be able to close again if that pressure gets stuck in the line. This is why MBCs have the small bleed hole in the side.
Smoother, maybe... worse, probably

How much boost were you able to hold up top at around 7-7.5K rpm? 300 load at 25psi is a bit high in my opinion but maybe its due to the HKS intake messing with the MAF readings? Have you rescaled the MAF scaling by any chance? Nice power btw, damn IX turbo guys got it easy lol.

Could be the intake not done much with rescaling since I got a base flash, use to hit 270 to 220 with MBC 25-19psi .
EDIT: If you go with the boost targeting setup with a JDM map sensor instead of the load targeting setup you can eliminate that variance a lot more.
