Which hose goes where? Vacuum hoses etc

Recommended Posts

Hey guys i have a WRX gf8 wagon with the ej20gdw1ne which is an early WRX engine. 

 

Long story short I removed my intake manifold one day to paint lol and ended up getting mixed up with the hoses.

 

Ended up having issues such as uprpm not reading correctly and sluggishness. 

 

Anyway these are the hoses I'm wondering about:

 

On the left side of engine bay, round thing (boost solenoid?) I have the top hose going to the turbo-intercooler pipe, middle hose to wastegate, but I'm not sure where the lower hose goes.

 

Above that is a little red thing with a hose coming out of it. Where does that one go?

 

Also there is a pipe coming out of my turbo down pipe that faces the engine block - I can't ever remember having anything connected to that. 

 

There's this hose which is teed off too - I think it comes from my boost gauge. 

 

Here's some engine bay pics. I'm not sure if I've got the Top three little hoses on the IM right but I've got the left one that goes to the bov blocked off. I'm putting bov back in so yeah.

Thank you all.

Couple of photos here for your boost control solenoid bro 

Does this help?

Cheers for that, that's a massive help. I'm wondering about the EGR valve? Brown little thing above boost solenoid. The long vac hose coming out of the right of it goes to the middle nipple of the intake manifold, right?

 

I think I had the post AFM hose from boost solenoid left unattached, mixed up with another hose. Probably why I had a few issues haha

Hey guys does anyone know where this tee'd hose should go/what it does? My guess is boost gauge... It's the last hose to go in and there's only one nipple, on the throttle body. 

 

I'm guessing that the other section would go to a point between the turbo-intercooler pipe... That I've since replaced with a silicon Hose as that pipe had a huge split in it. 

 

Solution - remove tee and just connect to throttle body?

Brown sensor by boost control solenoid (BCS) is connected to the MAP sensor so I've always called this the pre-MAP sensor but not sure on its actual name. 

 

Either way, it needs a vacuum source so it needs to be plumbed to the manifold (port doesn't matter).

I've had a look at your photo and if you compare it to my last photo you can see the tee to the right of the 6. It's plumbed into the manifold too.

I've got mine set up exactly like that. Just I don't know where the other end goes.. my guess is to the turbo-intercooler pipe.. I've blocked it off as I have no way to connect it to that pipe, having replaced it with silicon/rad hose.

Ok so then you should be find to remove the tee and patch it directly to the vacuum source then I figure.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
