Will probably be the same as the EVC 4, I've fitted two of them and its very simple. This should help for the installation part; setup might be different however: http://www.plymouthlaser.com/evc4.htm

For the boost gauge side of things there should be a Teflon hose and metal t-bar with the Blitz one...

Explains everything pretty well.
Heres a pic of my solenoid for reference:

You can T the vac source from the same line as your boost gauge, but better to let it have its own source. Find a vac hose at the back of the inlet mani, I can't even remember which one I used tbh! lol
Don't use the FPR or MAP sensor vac line though; it advises against that!

Where on the turbo?

On the compressor housing (snail).

You can see the stock solenoid right next to the HKS one mate in the pic, just to the right. I never had it connected up anyway, I didn't bother with hi/lo boost using the button.
I'd Google about, see if you can find a BLITZ installing manual. Might be slightly different, never fitted one! HKS FTW!

Hehehe, see the vac line take off coming from the snail? The connection the actuator connects up to.
So I t into that? Where does the actuator port attach to the actuator? I must be drivin u maaad Montana!!!:haha:

:homer:
Right, you have 3 ports on the solenoid, for the HKS solenoid it is as follows: (PS. The ports aren't in numerical order, so look at it as the numbers are on it. You will see that 3 is the middle one, like my pic shows!)
Port 1 goes to a vacuum source on the inlet manifold.
Port 2 goes to the turbo, so one piece of vac hosing goes from this port to the port on the turbo like in the picture.
Port 3 goes to the wastegate actuator. If you have a HKS actuator there is only one place it can go:
Its best if you go out and have a look mate, you'll figure it out then! lol
Hope that helps!
