I was looking at it today and notice there is not vacuum place on the turbo. Will I need to tap one or is this just the way is was made?

 

possibly just the way it was made. some turbos don't come tapped with the vac port on the compressor housing. you can tap it yourself or find another vac source like off the intake manifold.

 

someone told me to plug that port??? does that have anything to do with the boost controller or does the controller just go to the wastegate port??

 

I know on my Mitsu that is where I put my boost controler, but now I can hook that up to my wastgate. I guess I would not need it............... Anyone else know?

the port on the compressor housing is used as a vaccum source for the wastegate. if you plug it up, then just find another source for vaccum.

boost controller is hooked up between the wastegate and vaccum.

 

This stuff is covered many times in the archive. But save you time, its usually better to hook the WG line after the intercooler (many ppl say after the TB). With it after the fmic, it will keep boost the same regardless of outside temp, with it before fmic it will vary based on outside temp and heatsoak of the fmic/lines/intake mani.

What he said ^^

If you have a huge i/c then you might experience boost drop i.e. if your wastegate line is hooked to the compressor housing and is producing 10lbs of boost right there, by the time it goes through the huge i/c then your intake mani might only be seeing 8-9lbs (for example, i have no idea what it would really be since my lines are off the intake mani).

So to just bypass any hassle, just run it from the intake mani and dont worry about tapping the housing

 

Ok, I'll just run the wastgate to my eagle vacuum manifold and not tap the turbo.

One more thing, I know I can put my boost controller in between the hose at the top of wastgate and then the other side to the vacuum manifold then the lower hose just goes right to the vac manifold. Does that sound about right?
