Question on line on pass. valve cover?

[Steves87]

On the front passenger side of the car there is an attachment mounted on the valve cover. It is a wire connection and a couple hoses coming off. What are these for? I have only one hose coming off and the other looks the same but has no hose coming off of it, Looks like I am missing something, but dont know what it is.

It's the boost solenoid and one port is supposed to be open to bleed off pressure. This is how it regulates boost. Originally there was a small foam filter there, but I don't think I've ever seen one.

It's the vaccum for the wastegate. Only supposed to be 1 hose coming out of it.

If you need some help steve, let me know. I'm only a short drive from you.

Thanks I appreciate it. I am trying to size up the gauges for install and came across a few harnesses that dont have any connections and this piece that looked like it should have a hose attached.

Like a dummy, I wanted to change mine and checked for availability at GM Parts Direct. Yes, I found them, but guess what? They are packaged in quantities of 10. I'd be glad to mail you one since I have this 'lifetime' supply. Just drop me an e-mail...

scottyb...same offer to you.
