Installing a turbosmart GBCV.

I'm about to install a turbosmart gated boost controller onto my 3TGTEU, before i do anything i just want to double check with somebody more knowledgeable.
Really all i need is for somebody to say yes this is the line that it must be installed on that runs from the pressure source and the wastegate actuator!
Lastly, the instructions mention briefly removing the stock boost controller solenoid, where abouts do i find that?
Thanks for any help!!!

well - it should be reasonably obvious what pipe feeds pressure to the actuator?
trace pipe backwards from wastgate actuator ... cause those photos are.... well ... a bit difficult to read.

I'ts hard to tell from the photos, but it looks like your wanting to cut into the coolant lines.
The wastegate actuator will be a small tin-can looking thing mounted on the side of the turbo about 30-40mm in diameter. It will have a pushrod coming out of one end and a pipe from the other. The actuator pipe usually feeds from a fitting on the compressor housing.
if when you cut it, you get a hand full of water or oil, you know you have stuffed up.

Pure class  Having said that, he's right. Do the line going between the compressor housing and the actuator.
