AEM truboost install issue...
I am trying to install the truboost controller and have run into an odd issue...
The gauge harness says to attach power and ground (red and black wires) to the boost solenoid, but the boost solenoid has two identical colored 22 gauge brown wires with no marking. The boost solenoid has nor makings either. I do not want to experiment and blow up the gauge or the solenoid.
If anyone can post up pics of their boost solenoid, that will help too. I need to figure out which one of these wires is power and which one is ground.
Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Polarity is not important with a boost solenoid. You can wire it either way and it does the same thing. 
. You do want to make sure and connect the hoses to the correct ports on the actual solenoid so that if the solenoid fails it will go to wastegate pressure instead of max boost.

I will bug you some when I get my pile running...
