b18 turbo vaccum lines for wastegate, bov and boost gauge
Where is the best place to hook the t's up for the wastegate, bov and boost gauge. I have them hooked above the throttle body, not with the idle line but the other one. Someone said it should be where the fuel pressure regulator vaccum is, anyone have any ideas?

i catch the compressor for the wastegate, if it isnt there, i drill and tap it, i use the f.p. reg for the boost gauge, and the pcv vac line for the blow off valve.

with my pcv system, I blocked the IM pcv source. So I connected my bov there.. the mbc is going to my f.p line. and my boost gauge is going to another vac source below my IM

this is true w/o a boost controller. but i have always done this. on every buick i have ever worked on and every honda i have ever worked on. i dont know why i do this, but i will continue to because it has always worked for me.
i guess i do it because, if you tap it at the compressor, thats the first place that sees pressure. i beileve, and it may be completely wrong, if you catch the pressure signal off of the manifold, there is a time difference there that may lead to a creep issue.
i ran a drag kit with 9 psi on a delta gate for 3 years this way and never once had a creep spike issue.
AGAIN I COULD BE WRONG, but again i have always done this and will continue to do it this way.

if youre talking about the vacuum manifold, you tap it into the brake booster line.
