Hey i'm installing my SBC-iD, i usually leave the stock boost solonoid plugged in. Just out of curiousity if i unplug the stock boost solonoid will I throw a MIL (check engine light)?

In a word.. yes.. If the ECU cannot trigger the solenoid, the CEL will go on..

It depends on the ECU.. But it is documented in several places that disconnecting it will trigger the CEL light, personally, I haven't tried it to find out though.

Leave it unplugged and find out!
Dunno if it's that simple of an install though, in the even that it does throw a CEL.

only thing that needs to be removed is the intake/MAF but that itself is a project if your trying not to make a mess of things.

Just to confirm, stock boost sololoid must be left plugged in, or you will infact throw a code.
