vacuum line help

[tnk]

this sounds stupid but i LITERALLY need a picture of where to connect the hose coming from the bov to on a D16Z6 with an internal wastegate.

i had it first hooked up where the green circle is but will install my boost gauge there. i looked everywhere but couldnt route where the hose goes on the pictures on the net.

i dont have a picture but just T it from the brake line going to the booster before that check valve

are u talking about the house circled in blue? my bad for being a noob, i do pictures a lot better lol

you just need to tee it into a vacuum source off the intake manifold. It doesn't matter where, as long as its getting vacuum to open the valve.

the red T is where you should T it from..the yellow is just the hose..
make sure that the T you get for the brake booster line fits the hose because the T's there are usually bigger than ones you'd use for the FPR

where are you getting vacuum for the wastegate?

Also might want to look into a vacuum manifld so that you have multiple ports for your boost guage, bov, and wastegate with out having to using all of those T's. Would also clean up everything too!

wow, i totally forgot about this thread, i ended up tapping into the line from the bov to the fpr since the auto place didnt have the larger plastic fittings. in the mean time its gonna stay like this until i get a vacuum manifold.

i appreciate the help man

....where are you getting vacuum for the wastegate?

im running an internally wastegate turbo, so the wastegate is routed back to the turbo, not sure if this is normal or not.

i wasnt gonna get one but after seeing how easy it makes everything i definitely will during christmas.

heres a lil treat for u guys, probably against my better judgement but i figured u guys earned it, a shot of my hell of a mess engine bay

hows it run?

 

[tnk]

i havent driven it after tapping into the vacuum line. but over all it runs decent on the base map. i still have a few kinks to work out but hopefully by next summer i'll be finished with it all.

 

[tnk]

i wanted to show u guys how i mounted my boost gauge! let me know what u guys think!

 

[2slo4u]

looks good! hopefully everything goes well with the tune!
did you drop the boost gauge or something? jw since its not sitting at 0

 

[tnk]

i got the gauge free from a friend so no complaints here. it lights up blue, as soon as i find out what kind of bulb is imma change it to white. i cant wait til next summer, about $750 more and it'll be all DONE!

any way to recalibrate the gauge?

wow you need to clean up your engine bay ......

but other than that turbo ftw !

 

[tnk]

no lie about the cluttered bay, i want to do a tuck one day like u but doubt i will. i've picked up things about tucks here and there but not enough to try and attempt it. with my luck, i'd seriously f**k something up.
