Sorry mate, txts generally get ignore by mistake. Emails are the way forward as I check them first thing when I get to work and again through out the day. Out of hours txts I generally don't read and forget to reply when actually working.

PIN 33 on the ford ecu. One side of the solenoid goes to PIN33 the other end goes to switched 12V via a 2-5A fuse.

Be warned that some solenoids have an internal diode (they will tell you in the datasheet of with a symbol on the side of the valve) and importantly!!!! If you currently have boost issues, a solenoid WILL NOT FIX THEM.

Ecu controlled boost is there to provide a simple, convenient and accurate method for altering boost pressure dependent on a number of programmable variables. I read on another thread that you are struggling to make more than 0.5bar? the solenoid will not help you here.

My advice is always to start off with a mechanical bleed valve, if this is capable of altering the boost pretty reliably within the range that you require then ecu controlled boost will work and better if the closed loop settings are properly tuned.

Good luck

Rob,
