hi i have 18g greddy kit.... just wonder where you are suppose to connect the internal wastegate actuator hose to??? is it to any vacuum source??? also how do you guys connect the computer to ecu??? i know you can backprobe it but i dont really wanna cut or peel off rubbers from the wires thats going to ecu....

xiLLtegRax

also what do you guys do with the hose that connects to the intake from valve cover... just leave it off? or get a breather???

OLD_HATCH

the compresor housing should have a nipple or hole for a fitting. it goes there

xiLLtegRax

thanks.... so how about backprobing ecu?

ridin98civic

are you referring to the greddy bluebox/e manage?

xiLLtegRax

greddy shitty box.... lol

gsr x civic

umm i connected mine to a t fitting. what i did was i t'd off the line going from the BOV to the intake mani and ran the wastegate to that same vac source. worked for me. i never found a nipple on the compressor housing that's why. lol.

xiLLtegRax

yea seems like i dont have the nipple also......

phan222001

greddy kits dont have the nipple

hook the wastegate vac line up to the compressor housing if theres a nipple, otherwise any solid vac source will do...as for the "backprobing of the ECU"....you're on your own there. It does sound like fun

Yes, connect the wastegate to any vacuum source.

You really need to get a copy of the installation instructions for that. Connecting the blue box to the ecu requires cutting into the stock harness. It's not plug and play.

It's suppose to go to the intake pipe before the turbo. I have a breather on mine, but I also have a catch can and no PCV.

What he said ^
Plus, if you really don't want to cut the stock wiring harness, an extention can be bought for about $50. You can hack it all up and put it back stock whenever you want just by unplugging it.

i was thinking about buying the electro connector but i hate using those because doesnt seem like it get good current through it...... and i am really not going to cut my ecu wire.... maybe ill peel the rubber off and tape them but prob wont cut them..... dammit

Peel, solder and shrink wrap, do not tape your ecu connections
You HAVE to cut the MAP for the eManage

xiLLtegRax

shrink wrap???
