Default Whats the best way to hook up vacum lines!!!

How should I hook up my waste gate, boost controller, and blow off valve? My waste gate and boost controller is hooked up to the turbos compressor outlet with a T. The other end of the boost controller is hooded up to the top of the waste gate. My blow off valve is hooked up to my intake manifold. Is this the best way to do it?

Definitely not "the best way". . .

i think the best way might be to get a vacuum manifold, like the one from golden eagle, and install it using a big T at the brake booster and hook up everything to that.

I think i am going to run the waste gate off of the compressor, and T into the brake booster and use another T for the boost controller and BOV.

hope this helps

I have enough vacuum fitting on my intake manifold. It is a victor x. The reason I have it hooked up the way I do is so I don’t have to run a vacuum hose from boost controller relay that is at the front of the engine all the way back to the intake manifold. Is simply hooks up to the turbo outlet with a 6 inch hose. The hose is then teed to the side of the waste gate and the top of the waste gate is hooked to the other end of the boost controller relay.

I was just curious how to hook it up because I know the pressure there is higher then in the intake and I have heard that when Vtec hits the manifold pressure drops 1-2 psi and the climbs back up. I was thinking it would climb faster if the boost controller and waste gate were hooked to the intake manifold.

I gotta plug these dudes....they are sponsors on here. I just ordered one of their vacuum manifolds yesterday...AWESOME deal too. So damn cheap, even with the brass fitting kit, which is what I got.

Dude on the phone said he still had alot, and even though the thread is locked, he sold it to me for the price listed. Grab one man.
