Started her up and.....
it was like hitting a brick wall at about 3/4k RPM.
Also where I had tee'd off my brake booster for my vacuum sources i now noticed the brakes ... erm well werent working. Does all of the above sound like a vacuum leak?
The only other problem I think it could be is the actuator hose on the turbo, ive left it in stock form since i got it, (the turbo is using the internal wastegate set to 6PSI) This hose im talking about runs from one nipple on the turbo to another nipple on the turbo, think its goes hot side to cold side... anyway ive put a MBC (boost controller) inline and im not sure if this is the best place for it. Do i need to hook up my actuator hose to my vacuum manifold?
Thanks in advance

Re: Started her up and..... (djnikko)
that happend to my brakes when i teed of the brake booster line. make sure that the tee is placed on the engine side of the small plastic valve on the brake booster line. the line needs to hold pressure on the other side of the valve in order for the brakes to work. now if you tee off the wrong side of the valve, then you are not allowing any pressure to be built up.

Re: Started her up and..... (maxspeedhonda)
do you have an example picture of this? I cant see the small plastic valve?
Thanks for the reply
Anyone know whats up my turbo? I assume I need the car dynoed but then I dont hear of other people with SAFC setups not being able to rev past 3/4k rpm?
Should my turbo come into contact with any vacuum source if it has an external weastegate?

usually people run the vacuum line for the wastegate off of the compressor side of the turbo. This is true for internal and external wastegates.
are you throwing any cel's?

Re: Started her up and..... (mattssi)
sorry i wrote that wrong, Should I link the turbo to a vacuum source if im using the "internal wastegate"? i.e. the one that comes with the turbo.
I didnt have any CEL's I shall do another test run this weekend and have my girlfriend check for CEL's in the passenger seat
Thanks guys

You may want to make sure that the "T" has large enough holes on it....If it was a universal T and it tapers down, it won't allow enough air to flow through to the brake booster. This happened on my car, and it took like 35 seconds of idling for the brakes to actually work. . .
