Removing the APC from a 9000t:

On a 9000T the box is located under the drivers kickpanel. To remove it you need a T20 torx,
T25 and a T15 (I think).
Pop your head under the drivers kickpanel and you will see a black box. There are two torx
screws holding the box to the plate, remove them and the box should slide out from its place.
This is the apc box. (if the box happens to be red, you hit the jackpot).
Now remove the screws affixing this panel to the underside of the dash. Should be on the
leading edge and there should be two or three of them. There is one more 10 mm bolt near the
rear of the panel towards the center console, remove this bolt also. Once the panel is loose pull
it down. Might take some force and you will need to snip the zipties holding the harness to this
panel. Once it is removed you will see a bunch of parts. Remove the pressure transducer, and
the hobbs switch. (the hobbs switch is just fun to have around. Can use it to trigger things
based on boost, or if you're kjettin' it, the terminal 11 mod)
Here is the fun part. Go to the front of the car and pop the hood. Locate the intake manifold. If
its not there, your job is so much easier. On the pass. side of the intake you will see a 12mm
bolt. Loosen this bolt and pull out the pcv plastic thing. Now there will be 8 hose clamps and 4
rubber/silicone hoses affixing the manifold to the head. Loosen up the hose clamps and pull
the intake over towards the drivers side. Once removed, you can see the knock sensor on the
backside of the block. Remove it with a 12mm socket/wrench. Now follow that harness back to
the firewall and feed it through. Go back under the dash, and find the harness you just pushed
through. It will be going into a much larger harness. Trim back the nylon sheath/electrical tape
on the harness and you will see the shielded wire going to the knock sensor. Keep the shielded
wire and the wires going to the pressure transducer. Now you have the APC connector,
pressure transducer, knock sensor and some wiring harness.
Go back under the hood and locate the 3 way valve. It should be up by the radiator near the
ignition coil. Remove it from its bracket and snip the vacuum lines leading to it. Make sure to
get the electrical connector and the pigtail.
We've gone this far, and now you are probably wondering what to do next.
Wiring up the APC:
Pin 13 is fused power. Run a wire from pin 13 to the fusebox. Fuel pump? I would keep it off of
the radio circuit.
Pin 10 goes to the larger spade on the transducer (but if you followed my advice, you already
have pin 10 wired up)
Pin 23 goes to the smaller spade on the transducer (again, refer to pin 10)
Pin 12 goes to the 3 way valve. Ground the other side of the valve.
Pin 5 is a ground.
Pin 25 is the rpm signal. Take it off the coil unless you have an msd box. If you have an msd
box, you either need to make a tach circuit or fire a dummy coil.
Pin 19 grounds for .5 seconds when knock is detected. Use at your will. A knock-light comes to
mind.
Pin 20 Goes to the brakelight. Move that pin in the connector to pin 19. That way you have a
wire thats a bit more useful
There are 3 ports on the boost valve. Make sure they are hooked up correctly.
