wastegate vac lines / oil lines the same ?
can i use same oil lines from turbo feeding on the wastegate?
looks like it can resist more heat than the rubber ones....
if so wich ones? -3 or -4 ?....where can i get shorter lines like 6", 9" 12"...
maybe this pic would help ....
TIA

Re: (BoostedEG6)
stan from fast-turbo (flamenco-t) is selling the "muckman" kit for wastegates, it includes the preassembled line and fittings to run the side port to the comprssor housing. i think they go for about $25 or $35 bucks. but to go all SS would probably get very expensive as mentioned above.
i beleive -4an = 4/16" or 1/4" thats a pretty common size for vac lines, ive seen some -6 SS lines as well though (mainly race cars)

Re: (dpetro1)
hoo i see...i tried to use the turbo oil feed line from the wastegate to the boost controller but i want to see if someone already done it before...
i have someoil lines around and an fittings...but not so sure about it...
BTW instead of the line going to the turbo housing, i was told to use the IM source...yes / no ? the reason is to have the " real " boost pressure for the BC to read....

there's your answers..
taking the source at the manifold vs. compressor is mainly because you will see some pressure loss through the intercooler (or whatever's easiest to route the lines). if you use a signal from the compressor housing, with say a 10psi spring, this may be only 8.5psi at the manifold. But if you take the signal at the intake manifold, the turbo will keep spinning until its 10psi at the manifold.
as long as you keep the lines away from the ex. manifold, $1.xx something per foot 'vacuum line' that's what it's made for...
