So I again have thoroughly confused myself...

I've been looking over the install instructions for my boost controller and wastegate, and they both reference connecting a hose to the "boost port" (or so I call it) on the turbo...

Only one problem with this. My Garrett t3/t4 doesn't have a specific port on the turbo itself to hook these hoses to...

So... How's this work? Would I weld in a barbed fitting off the intercooler piping shortly after the turbo for this purpose?

I know I'm probably overcomplicating this, but hey, it's what I do. LOL!!!

 

If you need a boost-only source, then yes, tapping anywhere between the turbo and throttle body is fine.

 

on my greddy profect b boost controller.......there is a vacuum line that conects from vacuum source to the back of the controller.....this enables the controller to read vacuum and boost numbers.....then there is wiring haness ran to the boost control solinoid....the solinoid has one vacuum line ran from a vacuum source to it and another line form it to the wastegate....this is so it can controll boost numbers......hoppe i helped

 

search vacume manifold

 

Although you're technically supposed to hook a wastegate to a boost-only source, you can hook it to a vac-boost source. I have all of my accessories run off of my vacuum manifold which is T'd into the brake booster line

I just so happen to have purchased a vacuum manifold, but wasn't sure that you could do that...

I guess I'm just very green to this whole boost thing, and just trying to figure it all out before I start installing things when the weather breaks and it's not 0-10 degrees out anymore.

 

thanks schister66 im on my phone and its a bitch to type.

You'll figure it out...at least you're asking the right questions when you have an issue. Most new guys either ask stupid questions or dont ask questions at all...i'm not sure which is worse. I drew up a little pic for you...it might help.

 

^^^ Awesome pic.

Thanks for the help. I get it now!
