michael5556 247 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Where is everyone running there vacum pipes? I have been doing some reading on where the wastegate should take its vaccum from but I only have one on the wastegate and am running a boost controller too. Some people have it on the manifold as its suppose to give the wastegate the best reading and my boost gauge will be coming off that too.Some people say attach it straight too the turbo but others say it gives an immaculate reading. Other people have connected it too a charge pipe before the throttle body? One more question....Does the fpr need too be connected too the blow off valve or just vaccum pipe from anywhere?

russj249 2 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I have 2 vacuums on my short runner.. One is a spout for the brake servo vacuum, which has a t piece bit capped off as standard. I have taken the little green cap off and run boost gauge off that.Then I have another vacuum pipe from the manifold, which has the first t piece for the fuel pressure regulator, then the pipe continues to the back where it has another t piece which splits it for both wastegate and dump valve.However I'm running mine at a constant boost so no boost controller.

legvw 0 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 If your turbo has a take off use that, if not tap into the inlet manifold for the wastegate.Fpr should have a feed from the inlet manifold too. Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 How would I link up my boost controller too them? As its an in car one. Just loop them to that? Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Boost controller goes between wastegate and its feed (inlet manifold). Which type of boost controller do you have? Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 i run my wastegate and recirc valve from the intake manni as for the boost controller all depends which one you have, mine is apexi so i have one vac hose out the top of the wastegate and one from the intake manni ..... search which controller you have and you should find some instillation instructions Link to post Share on other sites

michael5556 247 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Yeah it's says feed from Turbo compressor and feed from wastegate so do I not need too run any other lines from them? Link to post Share on other sites
