It's hard to see, but this link shows how it's supposed to go; zerothread/225309.

Basically dissconnect the line going from the intake to the boost control solenoid, connect it to the T and the line coming off of the T that is hanging down, connects to the spot where you just pulled the line off of.

Run this way

Turbo to Actuator with 1 peice of rubber hose.

That is all. unbolt and unplug that crap

Our of curiosity, where'd you run the atmospheric line for the butterfly solenoid?

My butterfly valve actuator gets it's vacuum source from the FPR, and my boost gauge reads off the same hose as well.

guys, I'm pretty sure this guy has got a non-swap setup. If so, he'll be ahead to hook it up properly.
