My ignitor came with a solenoid with 2 vacuum ports on it. From what I know so far, it controls the butterfly valves. I checked the stickies and read through the vacuum diagram in the FSM, but I got lost. So, can anyone help me out and tell me where these 2 ports hook up to? Thanks for any info you can give me.

negative, OEM boost control solenoid. It also opens a door to a parallel universe so you be careful with that.

ok..thanks for all the feedback. I had heard mixed comments on whether it was the butterfly control or factory boost controller. I'll just cap them off then. But honestly, I was looking forward to jumping to a parallel dimension where I would be famous for saying "thats hot"
