Turbo question...with pics
So I have had some different opinions, but I'm wondering which way is the correct way. In the first picture below there's a hose that runs from my w/g to the intake, this is the way my car is set up right now.
In the second picture it shows that the hose runs from the wastegate to the intake manifold. This is how my car was hooked up.
After changing from the way it was to the way it is, my boost gauge is reading differently. So my question is it better to run the hose the way it is in the first pic, or second pic? And why? Thanks

Re: Turbo question...with pics
If you run it to the intake manifold the wastegate sees less boost because there is some pressure drop across the intercooler. Run it pre intake manifold and the wastegate sees more boost and opens sooner...but youll get less boost post IC. Keep it off the intake manifold to compensate for any boost loss through your intercooler.

the correct way is to the intake, this way the wg sees the same psi that the map sensor does. see my video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJbQR...e=channel_page

Just raise the boost a slight amount on your boost controller. That will put you back to whatever boost you want to run. But yea, keep it at the intake manifold for sure.

huh??? hooking it to the manifold is the proper way to do it. not sure why tial would tell you such a thing. the tial diaphragms handle 30+ psi im sure they can handle -20 inches of vacuum . besides once he hooks up a MBC the gate wont see vacuum any more any way.

Re: Turbo question...with pics
well no offence but i put tial above some kids on an internet board. if they recomend it to not see vacuum. then that should be how it is hooked up.

Re: Turbo question...with pics
it needs to be on the turbo side of the throttle body (according to tial) so I would put it as close to that point as possible, which would make it see roughly the same number as the map sensor, and would take into account the pressure drop from the intercooler/piping.
