The side of the solenoid that has one fitting needs to go to a vacuum source. The side with both fittings will go to your wastegate. Both wires (1 power, 1 ground), interrupt the ground wire with the switch. That will be a lot easier for mounting positions so you can run the ground wire inside the vehicle and mount the switch wherever you decide.


Where can I get that setup from? I like it.

It depends which type. With the traditional check valve, there is no vacuum leak when the valve is closed, but there is the TINIEST of vacuum leaks yes when the valve is open. Not enough to matter in any way at all.

Great stuff as usual Ben! Using this along with the book I am reading by Mark Warner will really help me out as I am very close to starting my turbo build. Picked up a fresh jdm de tapped for boost. Let the fun begin!
