What to do with BCS on 2G when doing EBC Install

[blazeonenet]

Just as the topic states, Wondering what to do.
Im going to be installing a PIT (performance import trends) 9700 Boost controller / gauge / turbo timer unit. (Part#9700), Anyways I know I want to plumb the feed/control lines on the solenoid for it direct off the waste gate, and line there.
What I dont know is what to do with my BCS, Having a hard time finding information on if it will set a check engine light if I remove it completely, or if I should just leave the connector plugged in and cap the nipple(s) that source over to the BCS. Any help you guys can give would be much appreciated.

Leave it connected. It will throw a CEL. Cap both nipples and tuck it neatly aside, not visable.

IF you have or might get DSM-LINK. you can turn off the CEL, and remove it completly.

I'm sorry, maybe I'm reading that wrong. But I should leave it connected, and its going to throw a CEL regardless, or If leave it connected it will not throw a CEL?

Leave it connected to the wires/plug, if you disconnect it from its plug, it will throw a CEL. Do not cap the nipples on it either, leave them open.

... and Welcome to Tuners!

??? Why leave them open? the Tiny diaphram iside doesnt move enough air volume to be worried about popping off or collapsing a nipple cover....


Leave it open and it Will collect enough dirt that it becomes useless....


so .... why leave them uncapped?

Good point.

Have you finished this install yet?

not yet we got busy in the shop today had to turn wrench for profit instead, tommorow should be slow enough though. I did get some shots of the intake and ssqv install.
I will post what how and why I did everything soon as its installed, and if theres no review for the PIT 9700 I will post one for it.

Well, I guess you don't have to leave them uncapped, but I did. Why not leave them uncapped? Just a waste of 2 nipples (if you cap them).

I have mine unplugged for 3 years and it doesn't have any dirt in it and it hasn't thrown a CEL.

Do you know anyone that had their BCS fail on them and threw a CEL because of dirt stuck in the ports? I don't.

Completely virginal the only 2 things I noticed on her was the magnecor wires (and the sticker for it on the valve cover).

Everything was fairly clean, I am still going to replace the timing belt before I put on the EBC.

So far the most important things of note that I couldnt find earlier.
1) The turbo inlet INCLUDING the factory rubber bushing/spacer is about 2.25" OD
2) The recirculation fitting is 1" OD, however the factory intake hose, and aftermarket recirc inlets seem to avg around 1.5-1.75" had to make a spacer hose on the recirc outlet of the bov so I could use a single sized hose from the recirc fitting, back into the intake.

I'll get the timing belt and balance shaft belt done tommorow, and hopefully I'll post the PIT install details by Saturday.

After a serious long delay caused by lack of time, I have finally finished with my maintenance and installed the PIT EBC. Currently only have it set low, 10PSI boost, start boost at 6 PSI, gain% @ 15. I will finish tuning her tommorow and post the details of the install and review of the product

 

[blazeonenet]

Well, I didn't notice last night, but this morning my idle is wack, suspecting exhaust cam tooth off or two, will tear her back down tonight and recheck.
