The I & J solenoids, which one

Hey, on the I & J Turbo Precontrol, and Wastegate control solenoids, which electrical connector plugs into which solenoid. One of the connectors has a mark on it, and one of the solenoids has something written on it, or the part number.

I've tried it both ways, and I have pretty much the same boost pattern. It looked like on one try, it might have spiked to 12 psi, is this normal? and what RPM is it supposed to touch 12 psi if so?

Come on, can no one take 5 seconds to look at their motor and tell me if the plug with the dot is on the left or the right? I wanna make sure it's plugged in the right way.

Okay, on the two plugs, each has a black with white stripe, and then a blue wire. One plug has a white stripe on the blue wire, the other yellow.

It was kinda hard to tell which color was which, just because it's a little old and faded.

Can someone verify the plug on the left is supposed to have the blue w/yellow stripe, and the right has the blue w/white stripe.

My car was switched (Mazda mechanics?!?), so I want to make sure I have it right.

There should be a white dot on the connector and on the solenoid and the others should lack the dots. Anything with boost has a white dot on it.

So is the dot supposed to be on the right or left? There's a dot on the connector, but I don't see one on the solenoid itself.
