Getting ready to install GM 3port

Getting ready to hook up my 3port before I go in for a tune next thursday. Can someone confirm this is how to connect everything.

A goes to A

C goes to C

B goes to intake pipe (currently still connected to the OEM boost solenoid).

A should go to your wastegate.
B should go to your intake.
C should go to your boost source or turbo nipple.

It looks like you have your MBC between your BOV line and your wastegate and you have your stock solenoid still connected to your turbo nipple. If you wanted to continue doing it this way you would connect the BOV line to C and your wastegate actuator to A and your recirc to intake to B.

However, If I were you I would remove the T from the BOV line and use the boost source from the turbo nipple for C.

Thanks for that info. Sorry I never done this so I will take couple more pics later today to verify I got it right.

Also I think I have my stock hoses somewhere from when the stock selonoid was connected, should I be able to use that?

I wouldnt use the stock boost lines. Put them up in case you ever want to return the car to stock. The stock boost lines have restrictors in them. You can pick up 6ft of vacuum hose at autozone for cheap. Then run one line from the turbo nipple and one line from the wasteage solenoid.

I don't have evoscan

After I install it, I need to drive about 7 miles to get to AMS. If I don't hit boost I think I should be good, right?

So is C the compressor? Looks like my old tunner cut the hose and stuck a screw in it.

Does that look correct?

You need to reconsider your "tuner" if he/she thinks putting a screw in the hose coming off the compressor is "acceptable"....I don't even know where to begin (sighhhh) .....
