Blitz Dual Solenoid Boost Controller (DSBC)

     I used the small round passage (closed by a rubber gromet) on the right side of the steering column under the dash to route the wiring harness and the vacuum tube to the engine compartment (the inner dam is already slotted). As it is not easy to reach the hole from the engine bay, I used a big screwdriver and pushed it hard against the rubber piece until it broke in the middle. I had no chance to remove it from the engine bay (big fat fingers, hehe) but the slotted rubber part is big enough. The picture shows the small black vacuum tube and the harness already routed to the hole.

     Later, I replaced the small tube that comes with the DSBC with a larger hose for the additional boost gauge I mounted next to the controller.

     First I pushed the tube from the inner-side trough the firewall into the engine bay. Only a few cm were enough as I then was able to reach it with the fingers behind the engine. I did the same with the harness but be sure NOT to pull too hard at the connector !!! But it's easier than it sounds :) On the picture the harness is comming out the firewall behind the wrapped tube. I then routed it up to keep it away from any hot parts. Also the vacuum tube is visible. Due to its less flexibilty it's routed within a larger loop and it then also goes to the passenfers side.

     Now route the wiring harness to the desired location of the Blitz dual solenoid valves box. Use some ties to hold the harness in position to prevent any burning from hot devices. I placed it along the firewall and tied it to existing tubes (left side of the picture) Then it goes down the washer fluid filler, passes the battery and reaches the solenoid box after the K&N filtercharger.

     The vacuum tube can easily be routed to the desired location at the purge control hose that's attached to the intake manifold. Just cut the small hose about in the middle and use the supplied T fitting to connect the hoses together. The Blitz vacuum tube can now easily be pushed into the T.

     First look out for a good place to mount the Blitz DSV box. Unfortunately there's not many space available for such a box with attached hoses ! I placed the box just infront the K&N filter but maybe somebody else find a better place. Due to this location almost the full lenght of the supplied hose are used. As the hoses are very good quality I do not expect any losses of vacuum or boost.

     Now locate the hose that feeds the wastegate actuators and wastegate solenoid valve at the Y-pipe elbow (there's only one). The picture shows it on the left top side of the air-filter for the BOV vaccum line. Just remove the hose from the y-pipe by now. Next attach one of the supplied Blitz hoses to the port on the y-pipe. The hose is slightly too large for the plug but it's ok with by clamp it a little tighter. Route the hose to the Blitz solenoid valve IN port. Now take the other Blitz hose and attach it to the smaller one we removed earlier from the y-pipe. I used another connecting piece as the supplied ones were too large for the stock hose and secured it by tying the assembly to the fuel pressure regulator bracket (upper section of the pic with the second screw clamp). Again route the hose along the IN one to the solenoid valves box and connect it to the OUT port.

     I used the Blitz DIN mount for my application. Fortunately the european models already carries a DIN Stereo (I replaced it with a Sony) and I thought installation should be easy.

     The cleanest thing I've ever seen :) The controller now just slips in from the back. Attach some of the double sided tape and it would hold there forever (I haven't done this yet). Now use the small gray hose connector and just push the vacuum tube comming from the controller into one side and the vacuum tube comming from the engine bay into the other side. Now connect the wiring harness to the controller harness. Finally attach the black cable to a good ground (e.g. from the Stereo) and the red one to a ignition wire (also from the Stereo, usually red or yellow).
