what is this little piece that is circled? It didnt come with my kit, I dont think. Do I need it?

 

its just a vaccumm source... and no u dont need it

 

I think the drag kits come with a brass fitting.

 

thats a pressure source usually for turbos with an integrated
wastegate,

i guess in your case u have an external one...

 

Yeah, you should have one in your Drag kit. In fact, there should be two: one for the side port of your WG and one for the compressor. I connected a hose from that port to the bottom port of my Greddy Type S BOV and the top port to my intake manifold for better BOV response. You could also use it if you had an EBC like the AVCR or something.

 

Maxim, how much more response did you get with the Bottom port on the Blow off valve connected to the Turbo compressor??

Thanks.

 

just make sure that you connect the wastegate to some kinda strong vacume sorce or it will be nasty

 

yea... someone i know didnt do this... now their rebuilding their motor!

 

yup yup

 

noe more question. I notice the teflon tape is used on oil feed fitting which is not reconmond in drags installation manual, qoute "7) Install the 90 degree "AN" fitting to the center section (DO NOT use any Teflon tape and/or silicone on the fitting)"

So should I use the teflon tape or not??

 

I'm pretty sure teflon tape is safe to use and should be used on anything except for fuel lines...

 

You use teflon tape on NPT fittings, not AN fittings. AN fittings seal by pressure at the bevel, NPT fittings seal at the threads...

so it that vacuum source what you use for your boost controller? im still hesitating to put my boost controller on cuz if i mess up, i might blow my motor.

 

why would your waste gate need to see vacuum?

 

Better take your turbo off too, cause that might contribute to a blown motor...

 

haha...

 

HA HA HA very funny, dustin.

 

Dustin I think you circled those Earl's fittings for me. We ordered them at the same time, but you got yours first. You were showing me how freakin LONG the barbed part of the fitting is. I'm still using the same ones!

 

yeah, that fitting is too long. I try to screw it on the compressor housing port but it hits the turbo inlet. any tricks to make it fit??
