okay so finishing up my b18b1 turbo build. Just have a few questions. Everything is bolted up and just need to tune and run some lines. My main questions are how to hook up the vacuum lines. But first ill tell you a little about the set up, because i know your going to ask lol. its a b18b1. blox intake manifold, venom fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator. turbo is a turbonetics t3/t4 i believe log style manifold. not sure on the waste gate of what brand it is or the intercooler, piping is just piping and the blow off valve is a greedy. Now the guy i got the kit from was running a line from the turbo to the wastegate i believe. no boost controller. soooo my question pretty much is.......

1. what is the proper way to connect the vacuum lines for that waste gate, BOV, boost controller, and the one at the turbo housing???

2. where/how do i hook up the boost gauge?

3. and im assuming the fuel pressure line is the same as the stock rail?

thanks for your time dont bash me to hard lol.

 

Do you have a manual boost controller or an electronic boost controller?

Honestly I would just get a vacuum block and run all your lines from there. Looks much cleaner than having T fittings everywhere.

 

manual boost controller... a little gay ebay one (just temp so i can drive the car and get paid to get a better one). I was reading about those vacuum blocks i was reading about the golden eagle one. Thinking about ordering that to clean it all up. But again trying to get it on the road. Speaking of that lol. i guess another question would be

4. WHEN i get my vacuum block do i just run all of my lines to that block? waste gate, turbo housing, BOV, etc.

 

here goes pictures of what im speaking of.

 

1. Boost gauge t the fuel pressure reg line

2. Waste gate lower port to the turbo housing

3. Blow off valve T off the brake booster

For the mbc is just goes in line with # 2 instructions are in turbosmarts website it's the same one

 

ok boost gauge to the fuel pressure reg line. bov t off to the brake booster. and the one from the turbo housing is going to go to the boost controller, then the boost controller to the lower port of the waste gate?

like so

thanks any other inputs?

 

My brain isnt fully functioning but i didn't use the top port the nipple pointing up goes to the mbc the one with the arrow goes to the lower waste gate port and the one opposite to that goes to your vac source, turbo housing, or inter cooler pipe.
