I did as you did in the photo Iwan, blocked the solenoid outlet and left the pipe to the pump open to air. Never thought of trying it with both pipes blocked but I may give it a try. I traced the pipe back from the solenoid and I'm pretty sure it is vacuum rather than boost pressure. With the engine running I can't really feel either negative or positive pressure with a finger on the solenoid outlet. When the pipe was off there appeared to be less boost than normal from the turbo on the boost gauge I have fitted so it must have reduced the low down fuelling quite markedly. I did the off boost and compensator tweaks, as discussed on this form and others, years ago and they certainly did improve off idle and midrange response even though I left the main fuelling screw alone.
