The solenoid things on the plenum to engine bracket on each side of the engine. Something to do with the old dump valves? Ones connected and one isnt, so im just going to dump them both and block up the relevant holes.

 

 

Apart from that, the engine is 99% back together now, just waiting for some hose clips to turn up for the coolant pipes.

 

One thing I noticed on the pass side turbo, the coolant pipe on the back of the engine. people put a little piece of pipe to a metal pipe, then another peice of pipe from that to the next metal pipe (if that makes sense) why not use just one peice(less joints)?????

not sure about your questions but glad its nearly back together mark :hyper:

the valves are waste gate solenoids.they are used by the ecu to regulate boost if the engine isnt up to temp or detonation is detected.you can bin them but youll loose these functions.

Cool, they arnt being used anyway. Gonna take em off and bin em. Just odd why who ever did the last job disconnected one and not the other.

Without them and without a boost controller you'll be running standard actuator pressure = 7psi on stock tubs...

Probably has the metal pipes in areas where it gets very hot and rubber pipe would perish?

I've replaced some on mine but keeping an eye on it long term.

I've got a Greedy E01. So it should be fine?!

Perhaps the EGR, but thats in the bin now anyway! Just trying to minimise potential leaks.
