hey guys, i have traced all my vacuum lines and they are all correct except for one coming off the top of the s/c that says it goes to accessory on all the diagrams i can find, it is actually going into my s/c bypass solenoid. on all the diagrams i can find there is only one hose going into the bypass sol. my problem is at WOT im only building half boost. is that a vacuum problem or do i have a different issue?
well my camera on my phone doesnt take a good enough picture. on the top of the s/c near the throttle body there is a black plastic piece that has 2 bolts holding it down. one vacuum line goes from that to the brake booster, one goes to the s/c bypass solenoid, and the other im not sure about. on my car i have 2 hoses going to my s/c bypass solenoid. just below the "blowoff valve" or bypass valve. i can try to take a decent picture tomorrow if it doesnt work out ill go to my parents and use their digital camera.

There's 3 vacuum lines on the top, (going from rear of the car to the front) the biggest one at the back goes to brake booster, middle one is your accessory Line and the one closest to the front is the one tht runs to the bypass sylanoid. I don't know about the WOT boosting problem but u might route em like tht and see if tht helps
where does the accessory line go to? and if it is not supposed to go to the bypass solenoid then what is the second outlet used for on the solenoid? just trying to get these vacuum lines sorted out. anybody have a diagram?
i have heard from a few guys that you can remove the boost bypass solenoid? is this true? what are the pros and cons? my boost gauge is only building like 4 or 5 bars at WOT so i installed a analog boost gauge to see what the exact number is. havent tested it yet though. any info on the BBV solenoid or BBV itself? are there any tests to determine if the solenoid or BBV are bad? any info would be great guys
