Run a pressure source line to the side of the wastegate, t another line off of that line(or run another line from the same pressure source), run that t'd line to the "1" port of the solenoid, and run another line out of the "3" port to the top of the wastegate.

 

so mine is hooked up incorrectly?

 

oh wait maybe i meant 2 not 3. Dont run the line leaving the solenoid from the perpindicular port.

 

Can someone draw a picture or something, I dont want to hook it up wrong. Plus which is power and ground.

 

power or ground doesnt matter since its just a coil.

SOHC_MShue corrected himself and said that the picture I posted is the correct way to do it.

Now help my problem still no boost, new solenoid on the way... anymore advice?

 

Go on AEM's site and the directions are in the forum, its hooked up like any other boost controller.

AEM's are universal, one wire goes to 12v switched and the other to your PWM output on your ECU, really not that complicated. You put manifold pressure into port 1 and port 3 goes to the top port on the wastegate, port 2 is left to vent to atmosphere

 

I have a question concerning AEM'S solenoide. Is this valve normally open or closed?

Normally Closed, if it breaks you will just run off WG spring pressure, not overboost.

 

Bump cause I have the same problem. Mine has worked since the S300 offered boost control and now it doesnt work...???

 

I am literally minutes away from taking the car out with a replacement solenoid

 

Cool, my car has been sitting for like 8 months so the only thing I can think of is the solenoid itself.

Let Me Know!

 

no dice, still no boost. I am going to re-do the wiring again, thats really the only thing I havent 100% re-done.

Next step is to bring home a battery powered oscilloscope from work and really see what the hell is going on.

 

so whatever happen? Just curious in case run into the same problem

 

I got distracted by work and travel, I just wired it up again bypassing some possible flaky connectors.

more info this weekend when I take the car out

 

FIXED!!!

It was the wiring I re-wired it from the ecu straight to the solenoid (without any connectors) and all is well

 

for fixing it for connectors

 

Mine was the solenoid itself btw, water somehow in the vacuum line right before the solenoid.
