Default Running Vacum Lines?

I have just finished installing everything for my turbo except for the vacum lines for everything. I need some help running the lines. I know I can T into the FPR line but I'm not sure after that on how to run ANYTHING. Can somebody explain this to me in detail. Where to tap or run line by line. I'd also appreciate a diagram if anyone has it.

PLEASE HELP ME! This is the only thing keeping me from starting my car!
My parts are in my sig, but if it doesn't show up, I need to know how to hook up the profec-b, SSQ BOV, boost gauge, and wastegate.

can't you tee the cruise control vac line? and anything after the Throttle Body?

[EDIT] also the brake booster vacuum line.

anyone with diagrams? I'm trying to figure out that picture and it doesn't make sense since he's using a FMU, without a profec-b. Anyone with a profec-b please help me figure this out!

YOUR Profec B instruction book should have a good diagram on that but let me see if i remember the install on a Profec.
The Profec box with the adjustment settings should have 2 hookups for v- lines a inlet that goes to a vacum source (your chioce) and then there should be a outlet that goes to the acuator box ( Black box that comes with the Frofec B).
Now the acuator box has 2 hookups for now i cant remember if the acuator box is marked and tells you inlet and outlet but if your looking at the acuator box with the vacum connects FROM the acuator box facing towards you take the v line from the B- controller and hook it to the left connect on the acuator box and then take the one on the right on connect to the wastegate and if you have a v- line connection on the compressor housing of your turbo tee a line off the wastgate to the turbo.
and for BOV tee a good vacum source and hook it to the BOV.

Sorry if im explaining too much but i don't know your situation, hope this helps

Dude, all to the manifold.........vacuum is vacuum..........the brake booster goes to the manifold, so it doesn't really matter. T everything until it's all connected.
On the Profec B controller box, the IN line goes to the compressor side of the turbo and the OUT line goes to the top of the wastegate. Then a line goes from the side of the wastegate to the manifold.

there should be two or three good sources on the intake manifold...and as long as you dont tee everything off of the same vacuum you'll be ok...2 to a vacuum is the rule i was told to use...

I T'd my wastegate vacuum off the brake booster line, on an Integra that is the thick line that goes above the brake master cylinder. T it off on the hose closer to the manifold. My bov and boost gauge got T'd off the line that goes to the FPR. On a GSR Teg it's the line that comes off the back/bottom'ish part of the manifold. It's not that hard, your parts should have instructions too...hth.

[edit]I just realized this may not help you very much since it's a different car, sorry.

ok I guess I'm just confising myself and asking a very unclear question. What I've been thinking in my head, was that I had to Tee into everything like it was one wire and make it a loop. Can I Tee into the FPR line for my BOV and my boost guage and my FPR? Like put a Tee in the FPR line, run a line off that to the profec-b controller (the one in the car) but Tee into that line also for the boost controller and BOV?

Consider the line that goes into the FPR as your "source" line. Put one T in that source line for your bov, put another T in that line for your boost gauge, and another T for the boost controller. So you have 3 T's off the single FPR source line. Personally I wouldn't add 3 things to one source, but it should work I think...hth.

Ok dude, since I am bored at work I whipped out a highly technical drawing that should help you. It only shows to different things being T'd off the FPR vacuum because that is how mine is setup. I do not think it would be good to tap into the FPR vacuum more then 2 times but I could be wrong. Here you go:
