You would never guess that I've had this car for over 5 years, how sad this is the first time I'm actually understanding whats going on under the hood .
and you'd never guess I've had mine for a few months...

bro it is easy.



follow the diagram.



make sure, if you dont have a boost controller, that you keep the turbo hooked up to the wastegate control solenoid or ur turbos wont operate
Is that any boost controller? ie. manual or electronic? Does anyone know how much the boost solenoid for the PFC runs for?

Sorry dude, I have not been back to this thread till now.

I wasa busy getting married and taking honeymoons and vacation



Ok installing the Profec B is pretty simple.

Find a spot on the passenger side of the engine bay to mount the black solinoid box.

Then you take the "in" nipple on the box and run it to the pipe on the turbo as shown here. Run it where I have the blue line. (really it doesnt matter which though)

Then run the "out" line to the wastegate actuator shown here and cap off the other side of the actuator as show.



Also take note that you will need to remove the 4" black vacum hose with the "pill" in it. That pill will now be replaced with your profec B actuator. SAVE THE ORIGINAL LINE WITH THE PILL!! you never know when you might want to put it back on.



Hope that was not to late to be of some help.

Also I wanted to say thanks for making me go look at my car. I found my problem with over boosting. I was all set and tunned for 15 psi when I left for rotorfest then on the way back I was way over boosting.

While gettng the pics for you I see that my wastegate actuator nipple cap has dry rotted and broken. Looks like I should do some vacum line and a bolt this time.



Thanks for helping me find my problem



See it?

Just a quick one here, why go to twin non sequential why not just fit a single? i always thought the best idea of twin turbo's was the sequential setup to loose the low down lag? Just asking cause my current car doesnt come on line till 4500 although with a nice kick, This is why im swapping to rotary power, acceleration is everything and lag is annoying.

Single is expensive and twin non-seq is a good holding point until the change, in my opinion. As far as switching from seq to non-seq, most of the vacuum hoses can be yanked. That is my reason for wanting to make the switch! After that I hope it holds me over until I can make the switch to a single.

The best reason for going non sequential is to get more a predictable, consistant boost pattern without spending big bucks. Ideally we would all love a single turbo. But if you have a **** ton of bolt ons and are getting crazy boost spikes at transition 4500k rpm and you want to get the boost to just sit at say 14 psi. You can get a cheap manual boost controller, go non sequentail and viola! You have predictable boost. Non sequential engine bay clean up is a **** load better than stock but still not as good as a single.

It's really a nice transition from stock turbos to single. I would suggest that anyone owning a modded Fd drive the stock sequentials for a year then do non sequenatial for a while. When the 99 twins I bought two years ago crap out I'll doa single also, but until then Im having fun with what I have.

okay backing the bus up......the silver line on the turbo inlet pipe....should be capped? It goes to the bottom of the oil filler neck. My car burns an excessive amount of oil....and im starting to think this is why....but I don't want to remove it if im not supposed to. When I blip the throttle smoke comes out the exhaust sometimes....blueish smoke that is.
