turbo vacum lines

[dohcb7]

ok so i want to make sure if this is how its set up:

the bov goes to the fpr with a T conection right...
and the wastegate goes to the the nipple in the intake manifold on top of the TB closest to the firewall...
and the boost gauge goes to another T in the fpr...

[dohcb7]

bump for my double checking

yep you are right except the boost gauge can go on any vacuum source

with my wastegate line i have a line running right off the turbo compressor outlet i think the closer you have the line the better the response will be from your wastegate.

the problem is that i dont know where to run the wastegate on my car... my manifold f22b2 is a lil different than the f22a1 and it doesnt have the nipples on the TB

use the vacuum line that goes from the tb/IM to your intake when it was NA

thats the thing on my IM it doesnt have a vacuum line...

take a picture i guarantee you have atleast one unused vac line... check right above the throttle body there should be three or four.

all you need is a spare vacuum line before you had your turbo when you had a vacum line going from your intake to your manifold thats the one you use

[dohcb7]

i took some pics here they are

this is my Throttle body it has no vacuum lines:

and this is the opposite side of the Intake manifold, this is where my manifold has all the vacuum lines, i circled in yellow a vacum line that is blocked off... is that where i should run it???

yeah any vacuum source should work might want 2 double check on that but im almost 100%

[dohcb7]

is the source that i circled in yellow in the pictures an alright source to run the wastegate vacuum

you want your wastegate vacuum source as close the the compressor as possible, for safety. the further from the compressor, the more "spike" you will get.

but aside from that. it doesnt matter what vacuum source you use. its a closed system, there all the same

with my 16g and F22B dohc head...when i ran the wastegate line right off the compressor outlet i got some 2psi of pressure drop in the top end. Mostly due to either my intercooler, or 2" charge piping. running it at the TB assures you hold your exact boost to redline even with pressure drop, but as stated it will give you a little spike.

The spike is quite minimal on my setup though (barely 1psi)

please excuse my stupidity but u guys are talking about the turbo compressor right???
