Yes, that is it. You can leave it on so long as you close of the inlet on the intake pipe going into the turbo. Leave the wiring connected or you'll have a CEL come on, which will be code 46 IRRC.
Is the 90 mx6 gt equiped with a boost pressure control solenoid from stock?
As some of u may know I have just recently installed a hks evc 3 boost controller in my car. Now the reason why I am asking this is that in the installation manuals it states that if there is a boost pressure control solenoid equipped in the car from stock that it must be removed prior to controller installation for proper function.
So after going down to the shop where my old motor is sitting today and taking a better look at the turbo and its set up, I seen that there was a solenoid looking thing on the compressor outlet side of the Turbo.
The solenoid looking thing is attached to a hose that comes off of the nipple at the very end of the compressor outlet.
This is where I have one of my boost controller vac lines attached to controlling vac boost pressure.
So if it is a solenoid please let me know so I can get to removing it before I end up damaging something. Car sits till im certain about everything.
Thanks in advance to anyone with input.

Ok thank-you so much for sharing that info with me, now let me make sure I get this correctly.Yes, that is it. You can leave it on so long as you close of the inlet on the intake pipe going into the turbo. Leave the wiring connected or you'll have a CEL some one, which will be code 46 IRRC.
What inlet on what intake pipe going into what part of the turbo?
Are u meaning the one coming from the compressor outlet end that leads down to that solenoid?
I believe there is 2 vacs on this solenoid and one sensor. Is it on of those vacs that I should be closing? I currently have the evc unit hooked up to the one nipple on the solenoid facing the block.
Where I think it should be if I am understanding these directions correctly is above that solenoid at the compressor outlet nipple and solenoid cut completely out of the picture.
Let me know if this is correct?
And I i'm glad u mentioned the sensor, I was wondering about that as-well.
Thanks again!

The one pipe from the VAF to the turbo has a nipple that the stock boost solenoid hooks up to. If this is left open then you'll have a rough idle and leak under boost since its after the VAF.
Great I will deff plug that now what about the other ones on the solenoid should I leave them open or plugged aswell?The one pipe from the VAF to the turbo has a nipple that the stock boost solenoid hooks up to. If this is left open then you'll have a rough idle and leak under boost since its after the VAF.
I dont have the stock boost solenoid connected to the harness and i dont have any CEL codes. The code is 42 not 46?
It's code 42 and you will have a stored code. It's not a major, so it won't light up the CELI dont have the stock boost solenoid connected to the harness and i dont have any CEL codes. The code is 42 not 46?
Also, OP get a damn Factory Service Manual. Seriously.
I hooked the hks evc up now and completely eliminated the solenoid but left the scensor plugged in and all seems to be great. Im getting a bit of boost spike but just leave it at about 13 psi and it hits 15 for about 2 secs then slowly drops to 13 psi.
Good enough for me.
Thanks for the info once again.
DREW.

We've done this twice. The first time, we completly removed the solenoid, and we got a code.It's code 42 and you will have a stored code. It's not a major, so it won't light up the CEL
The second time, we just unhooked the solenoid, and it didnt give us a code (not stored or visible)
For real.Also, OP get a damn Factory Service Manual. Seriously.
