Wastegate solenoid

[Dukesie79]

Just got my TT 5.6 chip today and I'm anxious to try it out on the street. My question is, how does the WG solenoid hook up? The car had a manual boost controller on it when I got it and it has nothing hooked to the solenoid. Can anyone help with description and/or pics. That would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

If you've got a bleeder valve or a MBC, you don't need the solenoid. Leave it hooked to the wiring harness though so you don't throw a code.

Right, but I'd like to use the solenoid rather than the MBC cause it's cheap and very unreliable.

My Wastegate has a hose that goes to a Tee. One hose directly to the turbo and the other to the MAP sensor. Is this wrong? It works fine...

You want the line to either be connected to the wastegate solenoid, or to a bleeder valve.
