-====== Boost Solenoid Installation ====== 
-On this page, we cover the typical installation configurations for an electronic boost control solenoid. ​ There are other ways and other solenoids, but we're going to focus specifically on what we've actually tested to work.  This includes the [[http://​www.grainger.com/​Grainger/​INGERSOLLRANDARO-Solenoid-Valve-6JJ52|Ingersoll-Rand 3-port solenoid]] and the factory [[http://​www.ecmtuning.com/​wiki/​_media/​stockbcs.png|boost control solenoid]].

-===== Wiring ===== 
-{{  http://​www.ecmtuning.com/​wiki/​_media/​bcsconnector.png}}The first thing you'll need to do is to wire the sensor into your harness. 
- 
-To do that, locate the factory BCS connector under your hood.  It will be located near the passenger side headlight area and will look like the connector to the right. 
- 
-If you are installing a stock boost control solenoid, then this step is pretty easy...just plug the solenoid into the stock harness. 
- 
-If you are installing an aftermarket solenoid, then you'll need cut the factory connector off the harness and hardwire (solder and heatshrink) your solenoid into place. ​ Wire color and which wire goes where doesn'​t matter here.  One side is +12v, the other is a switch to ground from the ECU.  It doesn'​t matter which goes where on the replacement solenoid.

-==== Pigtail ==== 
- 
-{{  http://​www.ecmtuning.com/​wiki/​_media/​bcspigtail.png}}Alternatively,​ you can wire up a pigtail if you'd like. 
- 
-Because we have to test several different solenoids and have to maintain the ability to test other solenoids in the future, we have a small pigtail made up using a connector from (I believe) 2G fog light wiring. 
- 
-A picture of this connector is to the right. ​ That plugs directly into factory boost control solenoid connector shown above. 
- 
-On the other end of this pigtail, we have a generic connector that we then use for all our other solenoid pigtails so we can swap different solenoids in and out at any time.
