question about boost by gear install
I have a mac solenoid for my boost by gear, its labled 1, 2 and 3 by each port. Im just wondering if its directional or not. also do I hook it up just like in this diagram?

and for some reason my waste gate is too tall or its just a bad placement on my manifold (blox replica) so Im gonna have clearance issues with running a boost line on the top of the gate. wondering if theres anyway to just run the bottom one? sorry if this sounds like a noob question, tried searching just didn't really know what to look for.

Re: question about boost by gear install
see figure 7 on page 4 for external wastegate hook-up. you must use the top port, you will most likely need an elbow for the wastegate to help with clearance.

Re: question about boost by gear install
thanks man. thats super helpful and I really appreciate it.
as for the elbow for the wastegate I have an ebay one but it just seems to make the placement even worse
I put .75" spacers on the back side of my hood hinges which made a huge difference and I also ground down the bolt that holds the banjo fitting on the top port of the wastegate, clearance is still pretty tight, and my hoods probably gonna have a brand new dent once I get on it. but its no show car.
