Im installing my turbokit right now and i have a question.
whats should i connect to the hole that the red arrow is pointing at?

 

You can hook your vacuum/boost hose for your wastegate to it, or just plug it.

 

can i use it for the BOV to?
or for my boostgauge?

you can use it for the boost gauge but it won't read vaccum. As for the BOV, you need a vaccum source as well, so just use it for the wastegate

 

i connected the red arrow on this picture to the other red arrow.

should i connect the one from the turbo to the black arrow? where the boostcontroll should go?

 

bump .. in big need to know

 

The black arrow is for a electronic boost controller, if you don't have one, just leave it open. If you have a manual boost controller, I believe it goes inline with the bottom vacuum port. Correct me if im wrong.

on a deltagate, the top one is for a boost controller, or like a high boost setting. On my deltagate, I used the side one and connected it to the side of the compressor where the red arrow is in the first picture.

 

Sorry to change the topic here, but did you hook up your stock pcv line that goes from the valvecover to your i/c pipe??

If you did, you need to disconnect it because it will cause your valve seals to go bad..

 

Here´s a better picture of what i´ve done


as you can see i cut the hose on the intake for the BOV
and the brakevacuum to the wastegate

now if you look at the first image i posted should i just plug that hole when i use this setup?
or shouldnt there be any vacuum to the wastegate (the side one, im leaving the top one open)?

or should i connect a hose between the hole in the first picture to the wastegate and skip the brake vacuum line?

i believe your trying to make this way too complicated

take the one on the side of the wastegate to the compressor housing, looks like you will need to go get a nipple for it. then you can just leave that one you have on the BOV to the tee one the fpr and mani. that way you don't have that long *** hose going to back behind your engine, unless you just like it

and one last thing, remember ZIP TIES WILL MAKE YOU OR BREAK YOU!!!!!
USE EM!!!!!!

 

i have a nipple for the one on the compressor housing, but i thought i needed to have vacuum to the one on the side of the wastegate.
but i use the one on the compressor housing instead then, it wont affect the wastegate in any way? it will still be the feather that regulates the boost?

the BOV is teed to the fpr.

should i tee the boost meter to the fpr to?

you could do that but it might start looking messy.

and you'll be fine going from the housing to the wastegate. Look at a stock turbo car, always going from houseing to gate. though most are internally gated but still, same thing..

 

i got a turbonetics turbo and a delta wg. mines run from turbo to the side of the wg.

 

i found this topic https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=635014
so it will work with tapping the brake booster line.

but i think i change to the compressor housing so i dont have to use 10m hoses.

maybe its ok to use the brake booster line to the boost gauge instead?

yea because it has vacuum but you dont really need that big of a hose cuz your boost gauge line is really small

 

well sinces i´ve allready cut it and i change the lines to the gauge or convert it.
the one included with the autometer is smaller than a straw.

or should i just reconnect the brake boost line and get vacuum to the meter elsewhere and incase where since the fpr is used for the BOV


thanks for the help man.

 

you can do it which ever way you want. i would myself go find another hose that goes from the master cylinder to the manifold and fix that so you dont have a splice in it anymore. then pull from a different source for your gauge. i have a little unused nipple on my mani thats perfect for a gauge tap!!!

 

is all lines that goes to the manifold vacuum?

 

i believe so, someone else may need to chime in on this one
