GM Boost Solenoid Install

Savagepike · 02-17-2007, 05:17 AM

I'm looking to install a GM Boost Solenoid because it's an inexpensive/effective mod. I know some people on the site are running these, does anyone have a how-to or some experience installing them? I have no problems when it comes to mechanic skills, but I don't work on something that I have no knowledge about installing.

It's very easy to install but you MUST be tuned afterwards for it to work properly. I made a little diagram just for you!

Awesome. This should become a sticky

Thanks for the responses... I do plan on getting tuned immediately after the install. Right now I'm just adding to my "waiting to install" parts collection, which seems to grow every week.

You're fine to drive with it installed to the tune, just don't hit boost.
