accidentally swapped around Connectors for WG/C Solenoid with Purge Cont.Solenoid?

What would be my symptoms? I have been trying to zero in on premature venting on turbo's. FYI my relevant mods are 99 spec turbos's ,y'pipe,smic,full exhaust. TIA

Do you mean the Wastegate and Pre-Control solenoids?

Wastegate and Turbo Pre-Control Solenoids

* If you are getting a solid 6 psi from 4,500 RPM up, Check the electrical connections to these two solenoids, as they can get mixed up while working on the engine. From the front of the car, the right hand solenoid and the electrical connector of the engine electrical harness have a painted white dot, these two go together. Note that over time these painted white dots tend to dissapear.
