johnd-mkiv Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Been fitting my apexi avcr today but im unsure where to plumb the solenoid in. The turbo kit is a phr stage 1 I can see two hoses coming off the wastegate one goes to the turbo housing, the other is just venting to atmosphire. I have done a search but reading through some of the threads its still not becoming clear to me This is the fitting instructions from mkiv.com, if it helps some one else http://mkiv.com/techarticles/avc-r/install/index.html thanks;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Should go to the solenoid mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd-mkiv Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 The hose that goes from the wastegate to the turbo housing is steel braided with aeroquip fittings on each end, the other hose is also braided steel coming from the wastegate and just venting to atmos if this is any clearer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnd-mkiv Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 The only way I can see this from the drawing above and whats in the avcr manual is to link the pipe coming from the wastegate thats going to atmosphire into the boost controller solenoid then from there T it back into the turbo housing with the other. would this make sence???????????

Ryan.G Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 John, you mention that it has been running wastegate pressure. Before you go turning the boost up are you sure its mapped for more boost? Anyway see below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway see below http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a346/Fletchy/AVCREXT.jpg Thats the drawing I just noticed in the manual thanks to be honest im just plumbing it all up at the mo wont be running it yet as far as I know it has only been mapped to wastegate pressure. Once all the bits are on and ready to go ill send it off for mapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
