Installing GM 3 Port Boost Solenoid
my own looks like the one in the Original Post lol...
i think i am really looking into this too much and confusing everyone!!
to clear it up the pigtail has 2 wires! the harness running to the MAF, branches off into two clips with 2 wires each these connect to the OEM boost solenoid.......
damn this is confusing, i need to get some pics!

oops should have said before, its a JDM 2006 IX. so it has twin boost solenoid.
sorry for the confusion
thats what i am trying to figure out...which is the primary solenoid?
sorry for the confusion
If it is a twin solenoid model, I would tap it into the primary solenoid harness, not the secondary passive solenoid. Keep the passive solenoid plugged in though.
Not having a JDM to look at here can you check the vacuum lines and see which solenoid runs to the wastegate? Or do both of them run to the wastegate?

sorry for the late reply, i was out fo the country this weekend so no messing around with the car!
i will try to snap some pics later, for now i am runnin wastegate boost.
i also read that after the GM Boost Solenoid is installed i will need to tune, so i will have to get around to that afterwards.

It would have been a lot easier to help you if you didn't cut off the cables and remove the solenoids. When i get home i'll go through the circuit diagrams and try dicipher the mess.
