i'm sure this is a noob question but when it comes to vaccuum lines, like for the bov,wg,boost
gauge ect..what can be used? just line like on the fpr?

Are you wanting to know what kind of line can be used (thinckness etc) or where you can use them for the turbo stuff you mentioned?

mikej94civex

well, more of what can be used, i know about t-ing off from certain sources and what not, just
wasn't sure on what kinda line to use

Just use a standard size line that fits the fitting very snugly. Get a little thicker for WG to Turbo compressor housing though.

mikej94civex

ok, thanks! 1 more quick question..for the wg nipple vaccuum line it's best to run the line right
to the compressor nipple right? btw i have an internal wg so the nipples are only a few inches
apart...

Yes. You want the vac line to the WG as short as possible and connected to the compressor housing.

mikej94civex

so just a little line couple inches long from compressor nipple to wg nipple, nothin t'd into it?

mikej94civex

Thanks alot man! info was furshur helpful
-so to be clear tho, line like what's on the fpr will work fine?

mikej94civex

??

Yes. DO NOT have anything Td in the line that connects WG to compressor housing.

mikej94civex

k, thanks..also my question regarding what can be used for vaccuum line?

zedron

iTrader: (1)

Yes you can use the same size as the FPR. If possible, get the next size up if it fits very snugly.

mikej94civex

for fittin snug...if it's on tight enough where i can tug on it and it not come loose i won't need
a clamp right?

zedron

Right. I add a tiny zip tie to all my vac lines as a little precaution.

mikej94civex

k, sweet that helps alot, thanks for all the good info!

This should give you a better idea of how to run it. My only advice is get vac hose that fits over the vac barbs on your bov, wastegate, etc...there really isn't a standard size.

mikej94civex

thanks, so where all the lines run from, the part labled 'fastturbo' is ur fpr correct?

mikej94civex

btw i plan to order a blox fpr from ebay, will that reg work for me?

dpetro1

the "fast-turbo" part is a vaccuum block. it gets fed off the big line running to the IM (labeled red) and then has outlets for each accessory. generally 1/4" line works for vac lines.

use your oem fpr, you do not need blox. rather than creating new threads, keep researching as it seems you have lots of entry level questions that have been answered before. the FAQ has tons of info, if you cant find your answer then open up a new thread

mikej94civex

ya, my questions are noobish cuz i've only been into the boost thing for a couple mths now
so although i have been searching, some things i just don't understand...thanks for the info
tho and i will keep my oem fpr

mikej94civex

also i prefer ppl to answer my questions directly u kno, i feel more comfortable with the answers
that way.

As far as the FPR goes, get a B&M one. To use it you must modify your factory FPR. I think you can find them all day long new for $30.
