    hi guys needing a hand on installing a 3 port mac valve on to my 89 tt imp.
    been posting on the z32 drivers and tech section on facebook with multiple answers. can anyone clear it up for me. where to run the vacuum lines and to which of the 3 ports they go to and are the two black wire polarity sensitive? i will be running a link g4+ if that matters.

    thanks in advance guys!!!

    Port 3 is to engine IN, port 2 is to wastegate.

    Electrically, polarity doesn't matter.

    Correct no1 you just want to install a small bit of hose to avoid and debris but have it venting to atmosphere (open)
