Do these need plugged?

Do these need to be plugged? I have a gs 3 port and dont know if these should be plugged. I think ive got a boost leak cuz im only hitting 19psi and tapering to 15psi.

No, please review the post I listed. Those come with the replacement plug in the GS 3 Port kit. Original one is Brown not Black and the color dots on the plastic tubes are different colors.

The post talks about those tube hookups in specific.

right, but if you're on a stock tune, you're not going to hit higher boost regardless of which solenoid is in there, and, if your tune isn't for a 3 port, it won't work anyways.

you also need to remove the boost bill from the factory t-fittings.

one hose is pressure source, one is wastegate actuator, other just vents to atmosphere or back to intake

I'd be really careful modding an X all ***** nilly

alright, so one port goes to the wastegate actuator, one port goes to the boost/vacuum source (usually the nipple on the turbo outlet), and the other one is just open, that's where it bleeds off excess psi. You can chose to run it to the intake if you want, but that's just for emissions.



port "B" is the one you can let vent to air or intake

Oh so you had a GM 3 port and went to the Grimmspeed? First post said GM 3 port.

What are you referring to for being 'plugged'? There's only three connections and it sounds like you have them all connected properly right?

no, it's just the factory boost solenoid, it does nothing. It's only connected so the ECU doesn't throw codes, it's bypassed completely
