unless you have a boost controller, keep the 2 outlets on the turbo plugged, and run the outlet from the wastegate to any intake mani vacuum source, and that way it will hold boost til redline. hth

you can tap hole on the intake arm...so your WG will read boost after your IC. it will compensate for presure drop.

OR you can Tee of a vacume source from the manifold.

im not quite sure what your talking about?

you can tap from the FPR line, the break booster line, or tap in to the intake arm.

in the picture that he posted... u see the lil brass 2 way fitting in the compressor housing? what do i do with that hole? mine currently has nothing there. so what i find something to plug it up or put a fitting on there and then use that port as the signal for the wastegate? or is it better to use the FPR?

My educated guess would be yes you can use that as a source. Im just not to sure how reliable the source is since its so close. But hey if it works... I dont think it would matter if its from that brass fitting or FPR source.

Ok, it's simple. The nipple off the turbo WILL work fine. The advantage to using a vacuum line off the intake manifold is that you will run slightly more boost. If you use the nipple off the turbo you will just get slightly lower boost because of the pressure drop caused by the intercooler (if u have one), because the pressure is measured before the intercooler. If you decide not to use the fitting on the turbo plug it.
