Wastegate source

[mp3-79bronco]

i have a tial 38mm wastegate, and i was wondering if its better to run the vacuum line off of the turbine housing or T it in somewhere? Will it perform the same either way? Just asking because im really wanting to do it at the turbo to avoid having long lines all over the bay...and can the bov be Td into that line if i feed off the turbo?

according to "Maximum Boost" the turbo housing is the best place to hook up the wastegate

What if you have an EBC? Is it always supposed to then be on the EBC?

the fact that you have a EBC doesn't change anything with the source

anyone know if the bov can be Td in also

I came to that issue and ended up with a Vibrant vacuum block.

i mean can the bov function off of the line coming from the housing and not the intake manifold

a BOV can function from any vacuum line becasue they all come from the same place! intake manifold yo! T into anyone you want.

i've tried it like that before because my WG and BOV are right next to each other.... WG response and BOV response wasn't good... got a lot of flutter in my BOV... i recommend just T a line coming off of the IM... or better yet have a dedicated line to the BOV...

i did the vibrant block also

The absolute best wastegate vacuum source is directly off the cold side of the turbo, but the stock MSP doesnt have that.
