Boost solenoid vac lines

Quick question been a while since I've looked. I'm trying to help someone trouble shoot.

The reference from the charge pipe goes into the boost solenoid. There are 2 lines coming out of the solenoid.

Does each one go to the canisters on the turbos? OR does one go back to the intake piping somewhere and the other splits and then goes to each canister?

Thanks!

IIRC one goes back to the intake and the other goes and later splits for each of the wastegates.

If you zoom in enough you can sort of see where the hoses go.

Thanks Boostfo!

So the vac line that exits the solenoid and is closest to the radiator goes to the intake pipe and the line that exits the solenoid facing the driver fender is the one that eventually splits and goes to the canisters?

I can't tell which one goes where since it's under the charge pipe

That's correct.

Now I'm more confused....So does the guy in this pic have it wrong?

It looks like the vac line that EXITS the solenoid facing the driver fender goes to the pre-turbo intake pipe

This isn't the person I'm troubleshooting for but just a random pic I found.

I believe that PIC it wrong and the very reason the wastegate hose should be under the charge pipe and NOT on TOP! The other reference hose (line) goes to the rear and has a Tee which splits to rear and front of canisters IIRC! Z

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
