Wastegate/BOV Vacuum Line questions
Where do most of you run your wastegate vacuum lines too? Is a vacuum manifold port ok?
Same question for the BOV, I currently have the WG hooked to the vaccum manifold, where should the BOV vacuum line go? I have it hooked up to this port on the firewall I think its a greddy solenoid for the boost controller, I'll take pictures because I'm not sure if this is an ok source for the BOV.
Thanks

vac mani. It gets an accurate reading right off the intake mani if its hooked up the brake booster line so you're gettin a true XX psi into your engine. Having the wastegate getting it's vac source off of the compressor housing is convenient, but after all the air has moved through the intercooler and charge piping, the PSI might be less, but since your wastegate is already open, your wastegate doesn't know it's not getting the true amount of PSI into the engine.
BOV is fine ran from the vac mani too.

Ok ya I fixed it all up. The wastegate is going to a port on the charge piping coming off the turbo, I got a new piece of piping that looks like this but it has a nipple for the wastegates vacuum line:

The BOV is going to the vacuum mani, and i got rid of the T that it was going to before.

Not sure but better safe than sorry.
