COBB EBCS Installation

  1. Plug in the COBB EBCS using the factory harness and install on to the turbo using the supplied 6mm hex bolt and flat washer.




  2. Using the supplied vacuum tubing, begin connecting the EBCS in the configuration shown below.



    In order to do this
    1. Remove the 6mm vacuum line from the lower port on the wastegate and install the supplied the supplied vacuum cap over the exposed nipple and zip tie it into place.
    2. Remove the 6mm hose coming from the compressor housing of the turbo and install the supplied vacuum cap over the exposed nipple and zip tie it in place.
    3. Locate and cut the factory line going between the BPV and intake manifold about halfway between.
    4. Using the supplied "T" adapter, connect the newly cut line to the "T" and zip tie it in place.
    5. Using the supplied vacuum line connect the free end of the plastic T to Port 3 on the COBB EBCS and zip tie it in place.

    7. Using the supplied line connect the fitting on the turbo inletpipe to Port 1 on the COBB EBCS.

  3. Reinstall the battery and intake system in reverse order taking your time to make sure all of your hose clamps and plugs are secure and tight.

  4. Flash the appropriate map for your vehicle with support for the COBB EBCS (Other electronic boost control solenoids, while similar, operate at different frequencies and are NOT INTERCHANGEABLE and will require custom tuning)


External Wastegate Installation

  1. Hook up the vacuum lines as outlined below.
    1. Port 1 is T-ed to the bottom port on the external wastegate and an unrestricted boost source. If running an external wastegate with the stock turbo, the compressor housing is restricted and not a suitable source.
