Profec-B install Question
I have found these instructions for installing the Profec-B Spec 1 on a FD.
PROFEC-B INSTALL INSTRUCTION:
1. " Remove air box and intake piping so you can access the waste gate.
2. remove the 4 inch piece of hose going from the turbo to the wastegate. This tubing contains the pill which you dont need now.
3. mount the stepper motor or little black box somewhere around the headlight under the hood.
4. run a piece of hose from the turbo to the "IN" on the black box, then from the "OUT" to the waste gate. It just acts as a bridge between the two. Then reinstall the air box and intake hoses.
5. run the power cable coming from the black box inside the car near the drivers side kick panel. I took it through the steering wheel boot or follow through where your boost gauge hose goes into the cockpit.
6. Mount the the Profec B somewhere where you can access the dials on it. I velcrowed it to the kick panel to the left of the clutch.
7. Now take the vaccum tubing for the boost gauge and cut it near the back of the Profec and add a T connector. Take a small piece of tubing and go from the T connector to the back of the Profec B.
8. Find where you want to add the power to the Profec B and there ya have it. Make sure to keep the settings all the way down at first. That would be the LOW setting. then play with it and have fun.
ALSO...
You may want to add to step 2 and disconnect factory bleeder solenoid hose from the second nipple on the wastegate actuator. Plug this nipple on the actuator.
Also add that you need do nothing to the pre-control actuator. Many people have y'd the profec to both the pre-control and wastegate, not good."
MY QUESTION IS:
MUST YOU PLACE A VACUUM CAP ON THE FACTORY BLEEDER SOLENOID AS WELL AS THE 2nd. NIPPLE ON THE WASTEGATE ACTUATOR?
