Ingersol boost solenoid

[josh408]

Does anyone know how to install an ingersol boost solenoid without cutting the harness?

I would prefer a write up on how it's done. Cutting the harness is something i really don't want to do

You can use male spade connectors, secure and use heat shrink tubing so they dont arc out on each other. Polarity does not matter.

I would just stick to a home depot MBC for $20-$30.

I had a home depot mbc but already bought the ingersol BCS. I'm trying to regulate boost through link v3.

Those spade connectors will just lock in place?

You still run an MBC, Ted?

I love ECU Boost w/ the IR solenoid. Holds boost so much better than any MBC i've had and you can ramp it in however quickly you like.

No they won't, which is why you gotta figure out a way to secure them somewhere and keep them tight.

All this headache to control boost through link? And then its gotta be dialed in? I have one of those solenoids sitting in my tool box collecting dust. The MBC is quicker to set than an EBC. Over complicated an EBC.

Hell ya I do. My boost is rock solid for a simple ol' MBC. Tuning an EBC gets old especially when a half a turn will inch the car faster.

Do it right and solder the 2 wires into the harness and shrink wrap them after. Its much cleaner and no worries that the wires will come loose. And besides its not like you will ever use the stock bcs again right. And using a ebc isn't that big of a pain, I love my gizzmo ms-ibc. And I plan to run thru link next as well for even more boost control.

Starting to consider just cutting the harness now.

That would be the safest bet.

Just splice into the harness. It take 2 minutes and can be reversed. Don't complicate a simple install.

Ted, come on man! Dial in takes no time at all. ...and i don't have to turn anything to turn it up. ..just a couple clicks. haha! But if it works for you, keep on doin' it!

You can run a separate 2 pin plug, piggy backed a couple inches down from the stock harness. Then run a plug onto the IR wires. Exactly though. Why is this so complicated?

Dang this thread went into a debate pretty quickly.

No debate. This is better. Ted just likes to do things differently. haha!
