AEM Tru Boost Install Help

Ok, I'm 70% done now, but I need some help with the vacuum lines...my electrical is done, and I ran the pressure sensor hose and the boost solenoid wiring to the engine bay...I wired the solenoid wiring to the wiring going to the tru boost...now the vacuum lines.

First of all, I see the two groups of hoses coming off of the 2 stock solenoids. It's looks like basically the all black hose goes to the waste gate and splits into a tee, one line going to the bottom of the wastgate and one line going to the top of the wastgate...the other hose coming off the oem solenoid has white lines on it, it goes to the air intake. Question one is do I use this hose at all or just cap it?

My second question is do I connect the white-dashed hose to the new tru boost selonoid on the wastgate connection, or do I split the tee farther down and connect one of those?

My third question is that the new tru boost selonoid has 3 ports, one for wastgate, one for turbo pressure, and one that is a muffler. What hose goes into the turbo pressure inlet?

Last question: where do I connect the internal pressure hose to the manifold pressure? This is the hose that goes from the back of the actual guage to the engine bay.

Basically I have 3 connections to make, one to the wastegate, one to the turbo pressure, and one to the manifold pressure, just neet to know which one goes where.

The other question I have is concerning the 2 oem solenoids...do I just cap the vacuum lines and let the electrical connectors connected, or do I take them out completely?

Thanks for any help.

Ok, I figured out that the manifold pressure hose going to the guage can either be tapped to the bov or the fpr hose, that's fine. I still need to know 2 things: first, do connect the wastegate port to the main line going to the stock solenoid, or do I connect it at the tee farther down where it splits and goes to the bov...and second, where do I connect the port for the turbo pressure. The other question is about capping off the hoses going to the air intake. Thanks.

No one can help me out with this? I'm new to boost controllers, need a little guidance. Thanks again.

you helped me out. i was wondering where to tap in the hose that comes off the guage. where do you hook your power and ground to?
