Default How do you install a MBC on a greddy turbo?

i'm thinking of getting the joe p mbc, but i want to know how to install it.
i have the greddy turbo with the blitz bov.

on there turbo, there's a vacum line going from what i think is called the westgate. would i use that line to connect to the mbc?

would i Tee off the line from the BOV and connect that line to the mbc as well?

pics would help if anybody has one installed.

thanks

no. on the wastegate there should be a vaccum hose going from it to the compressor housing. Take that off. Run a vaccum hose from the MBC to the wastegate, and from the MBC to the intake manifold. Make sure you block off the hole in the compressor housing.

okay...i saw the vacum line on the turbo coming from the westgate. so i use that line and put it to the mbc, right? then i cover up the hole on the housing where that vacum line went to from the westgate right?

the other line goes to the intake manifold somewhere, right? so can't i just tee off the bov since thats going to the intake mani as well?

if you use that source, your motor will be producing a little bit less boost, because the vacuum source isn't after the intercooler (pressure drop) the bov (possible leak), etc...

I would plug up the hole in the compressor housing and instead of having the tube from from there, i'd have it from from the intake manifold.
