Default Running a vacuum block wondering I should T the ebc

I see a lot of people T off the wastegate to the ebc. I'm wondering if I should do the same or just run all my vacuum off a central location, the main reason why I have the block.

Use the central location if possible, please for your EBC. You want the strongest signal possible.

Agree with Mac strongest signal as possible for the EBC. I personally line everything to be independent. But central works too it's just preference.

That's exactly what I wanted to hear

Now I need to find out why my accessory terminal under the dash isnt giving out any voltage. It's really odd if you ask me
I know it's an off topic question but what fuse, if any, is tied into it?

I have a 95 teg btw

Which accessory terminal? There has to be a dozen down there. Make sure you are testing it with a good ground.

It's the terminal above the fuses
I have a good ground just not getting anything on my digital meter. It's really weird
I'll try something else today. Even if I hook up a light it still doesn't work.

Trace it back to the key solenoid. Honda's typically have 2Accy leads. I forget the colors but you can find it labeled IG2, and ACCY on the key solenoid, you might have it confused with IG1.

I T'd off the turbo outlet to the EBC and it has worked really well without a assload of vaccum lines running all over the place. My MAC valve is really close to the WG and they can take a lot more heat than I would of thought

I dont run a vac block anymore but when I did I ran it off the brake booster hose.
Your EBC and Wastegate sources should be right from the compressor if you have a fitting there.
