Default Prodrive Boost Solenoid

Does anyone have any steps on how to install this? I'm waiting to do mine but it didn't come with any directions so I'm clueless.

Personally I would have a tuner install it. Only because you'll need a tune after installation. If you plan to have a tune in the near future. I say wait and have it installed right before.

As far as installation instructions go...contact Dan at Prodrive. He'll walk you through it. I do believe there is a thread on Nasioc with the proper instructions...do a search over there.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes!


Kind Regards,
Ryan

Yeah I know I need a tune right after. If I do end up installing the solenoid msyself, I'm just going to stay off boost for a few days. I'm going either tuesday or thursday to get protuned.
