can i tap a hole into the pipe after the IC and before the TB for my waste gate vacume source?
because i dont want to run a line all the way from the mani to the waste gate.

seems more accurate because the waste gate will compensate for the presure drop? after the IC

 

i want to know that to

 

that's where my source is. i haven't tried it off the manifold.

 

I have it going to my manifold.

 

I use a AVC-R so a -6 line attaches to the bottom of the w/g while a -4 tapped near the -6 attaches to the boost solenoid and the top of the w/g. Both lines are tapped less than 12" from the compressor housing and before the IC. Initially I was using all -4 lines and when I changed the bottom line from a -4 to a -6 boost came online a lot faster in first and second gear.

 

Well the reason why i wanted to get my source from the intake arm...because it seems easier and cleaner having a vacume line go straight from wg to the arm. I didnt want to run the line all the way back and zip ties everywhere.

Dee-what is the bennifit of using ss braided lines for the vacume lines? I guess protection...is it really nessesary?

 

I did this with mine...I am running all the vaccum lines to the back of the IM,



no more visible Tees..

 

I used SS lines because I had a crapload of it!

 

you guys are great....

Flaminco and Dee you guys always come through.

Edit: BTW what is that around the nipple stan? is that just jb weld stuff?
