Done.

Do not put any pills or anything into lines. Try to use a size as close to OEM size.

Remember a large diameter line that is long will require air to travel longer and will requiremore to fill.

Try to keep the lines as short as possible without causing kinks, etc...
Once i take off the stock lines, i'll take the one from the turbo and one from wga and ill go to autozone where i'll size match them. I'll get extra length and cut it to perfect fit.

Although im looking at the lines and they appear to be same size; from the wga and boost source

If you can, route a vac line to the 3rd port to the induction tube. Better than VTA.

we've got our 3 ports in stock again, but it wont last long (my next resupply is scheduled for august 18th... 5 weeks ). ours does not need any keys ground off the connector, fits just fine. also, the barb fittings are not plastic, they are brass.

Yeah totally forgot that if you have a stock, perrin, or cobb inlet they will have a inlet port instead of VTA.

Wait... Induction line is the line that connects on the turbo inlet, the small nipple?

The vent port on the BCS should route back in pre pressure, so on the intake tube (induction tube), like OEM.

Sorry i had one more question... took the OEM boost solenoid out today and i noticed that there are 2 different colored connectors that connect to it. From what i understand is, the aftermarket EBCS only has one? So what do i do about the second plug?

mmkay, i guess i'll tape the connector off so water or w/e doesn't contact the inside.

The Perrin one should be here Tuesday, and Wednesday is the big day.

I have tried to install the Tactrix 3-port solenoid without success, I don't know how to fit the vac lines and how to connect to the passive solenoid (because evo x have 2 solenoids)

take all the stock vacuum lines off. leave the passive solenoid plugged in with the wires, but remove all the vacuum lines. use new lines for the new 3-port and connect it how the diagrams show for 3 ports.

How are you all mounting this to the chassis? Anything custom or cool, or is it ziptied?
