Can't figure out this part

1990 Ply. Laser RS Turbo

I have a part I can't figure out. I called the Mitzu dealer and he couldn't figure it out either. They even faxed me a page out of their manual and asked me to identify it. As best as we can tell, it is just a junction box, but I think it is more.

Description: There is a vacuume line coming out of the intake that meets with a vacuume line coming from somewhere around the turbo. They meet in this unit about the size of a 35mm film canister. There is also a plug wired to this unit that runs back to the fuse box I believe.

I broke a nipple off of this unit and one of the vacuume hoses is not connected.

-------------------------------------------------------

Side Question:

How do you keep your intake filter on the pipe? I bought a Dejon Tool intake for my car. I didn't want to hack up the aircan so right now I'm just using some orange clamps to hold it on. This is really ghetto and I need to figure out a good way to hold it on. If I need to hack the aircan I will, I just figured there would be a better way.


Thanks in advance,
Nathan

The part sounds like your BCS (boost control solenoid).

go to a junk yard and get one for 5-10 bucks or by pass it with a boost controller

Or just bypass it completely. You can run the vacuum line from the jpipe to wastegate actuator without any issues.
