Default quick vacuum question

just a quick question....
i have greddy 18g kit and i connected the WG line from the intake of compressor housing.... and also vacuum for BOV T'ed from intake manifold to pcv valve... because i dont have a nipple on charge pipe.....i personally thought it would work but i guess its a check valve so its not working properly??? did i connect the vacuum right and also which way would be better???

is there a nipple on the compressor housing? if there is, thats where the wastegate goes, i like them there better.

as far as the BOV, teed into the PCV line is fine. its own vac source would be better.

okay let me tell you what's up.
the bov should go straight to the pcv valve, and on that line, t it off and connect it to the wastegate.
IDK wtf you're talking about connecting the WG line from the intake of the comp housing.






those are some old pics of my previous setup. for the most part, that's how everything should look.

and how do you know it's not working properly?

btw, for the spark plugs, get NGK BKR7E's. great plugs. made 303 whp on them.

come back with more questions

yeah, when theres a nipple on the compresor housing, people usualy put that right to the wastgeate so it gets an early definet reading, w/o being messed up from 8 tees.

yea i would like to put the vacuum for the wg from the compressor housing but i do not have a nipple on it..... but for the cold side of turbo where you put on the filter i have a elbow with nipple so i put that there.... i think that works fine. but for the bov it doesnt really sound right... right now i have it connect to where pcv valve and intake manifold is..... i cut the hose off and Ted from it....

theres your problem.
there is no boost there.
only after the wheel on the compressor. like at the outlet or if there is a nipple in the housing. but is has to be after the wheel.

drill the outlet and put one there. thats what i do on them all.

You need to have it connected to a source AFTER the air is compressed(boost). Where the filter is, that is just air that is coming in that WILL be compressed.

Fix and let us know.
