Hello everyone,

I trusted my saab mechanic a while back to install a new engine, and i was unhappy with the results...

...basically i get very low boost right now...

after fixing my cruise control system so it finally works, i suspect the BPC (apc solenoid)

i've got a 1990 9000 turbo... and i've seen multiple posts about the W hose that goes to the wastegate actuator being THE MIDDLE HOSE!!!

However, the TOP HOSE is connected to my wastegate actuator!!! Is this wrong?

the other two hoses go to the compressor housing on the turbo, and something stuck into the rubber intake boot...

aside from the hoses possibly being wrong... the Valve itself doesn't make any noise when i shake it! so i think it's stuck...

someone please confirm that the hose to the wastegate actuator is the top hose... because i wanted to disconnect it to see if boost is restored!


-thanks
