I have removed the "rats nest" out of a 87 T2. By following a diagram I found in the forum, it says that the "twin-scroll solenoid" should not be removed.

Questions:

1. Do I really need this solenoid or can I do without it (cap it)?

because

2. My "green" solenoid plug (twin=scroll) is for 3 wires. All the solenoids are 2
prong. So none fit. What am I missing????

Thanks

 

Your looking at the green CHECK CONNECTOR if it has three sockets.

Are the car and the engine both series four?

 

The car and engine are both series 4.

Yes...the green connector which is a smaller connector compared to the others has 3 sockets, all others (blue, orange, white, etc) are 2 connectors. All solenoids are 2 prong.

If I don't need it....no big deal. I just don't know what the consecuences would be if I cap it.

 

if you cap it is you will just lose the twin scroll system. not a huge deal, it helps spool the tubo quicker but it will not harm anything by leaving it disconnected.

what hailers is getting at is you should have a green 2 prong connector somewhere(if it is in fact green, i can't remember off the top od my head).

 

If you have a TURBO EMISSIONS harness, then there should have been a Green, two socket plug. It should have two wires in it. One would be Black with a White stripe. The other wire a Blue wire with a Black stripe.

Only a non turbo emissions harness would not have the Green two socket plug.

The twin scroll actuator is spring loaded to the wideopen position, so you'll just lose a touch on the spool up time. You wouldn't have to do squat to it if you don't use the solenoid.

 

if you keep it though you will need the check valve befor the silinoid hooks up to the tb

 

Thank you all.

I will look again but if not, I will cap it.
