what sensors are these? (Pics inside)

Hi Guys,

I found a couple of sensors right beneath my air intake and im not sure what they are for. I know one of them is boost control solenoid (which should be disconnected in my case as im using Profecb EBC) but cant identify. what is the other sensor?

shall i disconnect both?

Appreciate if someone could help and let me know what these sensors are for.
Thanks in advance!

both those plugs go to the boost control solenoid, if your using a MBC, don't worry about them.

The 8MR has two wastegate solenoids, so even though the car in question is a 9, it could be the same part.

Do you ever wash that thing or just rally it 24/7?

if its karachi... i think 2 minutes after its washed it would be like that my question would be where do u get fuel to run the car... haha

this must be a JDM/UK car, so they are the dual boost solenoids. the big black one is obviously the solenoid for the profec 2.

No, i dont rally the car all day long.
i live in Dubai and we've seen quite a few sand storms last few weeks, car is all cleaned from outside but i just cant keep washing/detailing engine bay after every sand storm.

@Ziad
i'm from khi though
This is a 9 not a JDM one but UAE version which is similar to USDM/EDM.

I know which one is greddy solenoid; was confused on the other two (can be seen in pic) but seems like they arent important (obviously one being stock BCS).

Thank you all
