Default stock bcs with ewg vacuum help!!

I recently bought a external wastegate and want to install but not sure on how to hook up the vacuum lines to the stock boost control solenoid that came with my 02 wrx.
This is my idea on how to set it up please correct me!
Vacuum line coming from compressor side of turbo tees to the bottom port of wastegate and then from that tee back to the solenoid then from the solenoid to the top of the wastegate to regulate the pressure? Which will be deleteing the first hose going from the turbo inlet to the boost control solenoid?

No habla


Talk got the guy tuning the car, and upgrade the stock ebcs. The stock is garbage and a very need upgrade when going EWG.

And if you are tuning the car, don't. Research for a few more months.

Btw you can't just hook up an EWG. The whole dynamics of the turbo will be changed. You need a tune or a retune.

I'm taking it to revworks tuesday to get it tuned before I drive it. And I'm not upgrading the bcs ill deal with it. Just I need help with configuring the hoses. I talked to a guy at revworks and he said he didn't quite know how to hook it up to a two port stock bcs. Whats the correct way to hook up using my stock bcs!?!?

This website shows how to hook it up with a two port bcs just it doesnt show the vacuum hose going to the turbo inlet anymore. Is that correct?

Don't be a cheap @$$ and buy a nice ebcs and it'll make your car run 20x better with the stock plastic bcs

With ebcs you will ALWAYS get flutter, stock or aftermarket. The only way to avoid flutter is throw a MBC in the mix, in conjunction or alone.
