Default The outlet from the compressor????

Ok, well i bought this turbo and I was wondering if I have to use this port from the internal wastegate. I am taking the internal wastegate off and putting a tial on. So now what connects here? The hose that I would normally use to connect to a vacuum manifold from the tial?

You can either plug it up or you can run your wastegate line to it...

I am running my Tial wastegate from a nipple on my compressor and it works fine...

The only downside is the wastegate will open when the set amount of boost is seen right there at the compressor, you might loose a bit before it gets to your intake manifold...


**edit**

On second thought, I would definately plug that one up and use a different source for your wastegate... it looks like the nipple is placed in a funny location... I don't know if you would get a good boost reading from that nipple...

Yeah, if you are going to do it this way make sure you clamp that **** on there good and tight!

I would just take the turbo to Lows and search around for a plug that fit...

the spot shown on the turbo is fine to run your external wastegate from, it reads boost and most importantly it reads it correctly and is the first place to really see it. i mean, its running the internal wastegate fine right???? right!
