so I was redoing all the vac lines...... making them pretty and such. I added hose clamps to all the lines instead of zip ties(looks much cleaner to me). I was taking apart one line and changing sizes.......

in the process I pulled the lines of what I think is my boost up silinoid with the part number

DV126-124 8729

and Now I dont remember which port I had the vac line on...... also It has two ports and I have only ever had a single line going to it.... is that correct? that seems odd to me.

just put in a brand new clean radiator overflow tank looks super clean. did some wire tucking, harness cleaning, and O yeah Installed the greddy timing belt....... will be a totally different car when it is all cleaned up

looking forward to firing it up.......

Ps a stupid question I suppose? it is just over a month now sitting in my bfs garage......... should i be putting some sort of fuel stablizer in it? probably atleast a few more weeks before I fire it up. as the next monday leave on a cruise for the carribean........ finally get my xmas present!

Gab, my car's been sitting in the garage on for nearly 7 months now... ive got nothing in it. The first time, i had it down with a FULL TANK of 93, for a whole year while i did the build.. fired right up and ran fine. I wouldnt worry if your only a month in but i dont reccomend what i did. Ive got maybe 1/8 tank and im a week from running right right now so im going to get about 10 gal of fresh 93 to dump in there, should mix in and be fine i wouldnt worry, you should be golden!

originally mine had a single vac/boost line going to it and the other line coming out went to the secondary butterflies If its the solenoid that im thinking of that is hooked to the little tube off of the wastegate. If its not that then i dunno, but i think its like a vac line then the other is a neutral pressure line going to the butterflies, maybe...
