Ok, if you wanna do the "boost bypass" alls you have to do is disconnect that v shaped vaccum line from the bottom of the waste gate actuator wich is located to the right of the bcs and below the waste gate actuator and either plug the end you disconnected or take that little piece of foam off of the bcs on the same side and put the end of the vaccum line you disconnected on there, hope this helps...... let me know how it goes.

Leave the boost solenoid alone. If you want more boost swap out the pulley, and now that the sc is making proper boost its a good inexpensive mod.
The boost solenoid bypass trick is good for drag race day then put it back to normal. At high rpm (near red line) and cruising the highway you want the sc to dump and save the added pressure from hurting anything.....imo
