Its located on the right side of your intake manifold if you are standing in front of the car. You can see it still attached in this pic here

I'm getting solenoids mixed up then. Then where does 36162 go or are these the same parts with different part #s? They look exactly the same

There is also the Turbo wastegate solenoid. That one will be hard to see. It sits underneath your intercooler. You will need to remove the intercooler to access that area, and its actually bolted to the rear support bracket for the intercooler. once you get the intercooler off, look just past the top right corner of the valve cover. on the back side of the bracket. Should be a few small 10mm bolts holding it in place.

Im not sure the difference between the air bypass valve solenoid, and the wastegate solenoid. They look similar, and have similar ports, but the internals may be different since they operate separate parts of the turbo system.

So back there theres 2 of the exact same part. The other solenoid is the purge and looks similar and is under air box. Impossible to see without taking air box off.
