Should I Tee off the brake booster and just run that into the vacuum log. Or should I just run the vacuum log in-line w/the brake booster? Will it make a difference?

i run mine inline with the brake booster..

JDubya

anyone else?

JDubya

one more time...

That will work but i just want to clarify that the vaccum source is going to be the intake manifold, not the booster. Im sure you know that but your 1st post sounded kinda confusing.

Whenever I said brake booster, I meant the brake booster line. So should I Tee off the brake booster line? or run the vacuum log/manifold in-line w/the brake booster line?

Run a vacuum manifold off the brake booster line. Then tap everything into that. Alot cleaner install than running vacuum lines from the brake booster line, intake manifold or compressor housing.

neither layout will have any performance advantage IF done correctly. They are both ugly IMO.

i was told they go inline with the booster, i picked one up and is coming in the mial now . anyone have install pics of theirs. ? just to see, im sketchy about tapping into my brake booster though.

you'll still have brakes if you mess it up. just no power assist. clamp it so it can hold whatever psi you are running.

Both ways will work fine. I tee mine off of the brake booster line and it works just fine.

i'm going to T-off my booster line... you can tell where it's going to happen. i just haven't been able to score the right size T or hose yet...

I have the exact same setup, except mine is already hooked up

I found all the brass hardware I needed at Home Depot. There isn't a better way to hook up the vacuum log, 6" of hose is not going to change the accuracy/response time.

Oh I have a CX, I dont have that hole.

PM-Performance

i wanna see one fully hooked up

quickda6

not exactly a closeup, but heres mine and its teed to booster line. no problems at all. **** started workin better when i got rid of all the tees and put this in----&gt;

Velcro Tape I think most people tap their own screws. I dont know if the Golden Eagle on is different though.

I tapped my own screws with my GE one, its a really simple install, the only pain in the *** is working around the IM and everything else in your bay.

JDubya

what exactly do you mean by, you tap your own screws? My vacuum manifold doesn't have any type of brackets or anything to put a screw through.

The GE log has a mounting bracket already on it, I just drilled into my firewall and screwed it on

just wonder if you guys have a JG intake manifold wouldn't you be able to get vacumm from the big plug on the right side or the manifold?

pissedoffsol

you could... its another source- but frankly, its a big *** fitting, and finding another part, and blah blah, when all you have to do is t-off.
