There should be a guide picture for where the 3 pipes go to on the forum some where,or your new bcs should have little coloured marks.
Found it

Thanks mate, i,m sure i,ve read somewhere fitting it is a bit different, nothing a couple of cable ties wont sort hopefully, reason i,m using later type is they seem to be more reliable

This is type of BCS to be fitted, can someone confirm which pipes go where, need connection to Wastegate, connection to Turbo, obviously remaining one goes to Air intake pipe, my pipes have been replaced with clear Silicone so not colour coded, just need confirmation which goes where, thanks for any help

thanks, i been trying to post it the last few days but every now an again i loose connection with the forum, strange as its only this site?!

anyhow. i recently swaped back my T5 ecu for the original 2.5t ecu and changed this across so cant commit as to the culprit but my boost levels seem to be more stable haha. so i think its possible the solenoid could have done that,. not to mention im gettin full boost around 2.5k instead of 4k.....
