hi, i need some help with this. i searched earlier on how to hook up my manual boost controller and i got all the information i needed and some other helpful things. i installed my mbc to the wastegate and to a vacuum source. my question is, what do i do with the line that is on the turbo and was supposed to go from the turbo to the wastegate? someone said on one of the posts that it was a vacuum line and i could just block it off. i would refer back to this post but i cant find it. i would like to know if this is true, and if it is, how do i block it off? the mbc i have is almost like the joe p boost controller.

here is how i have everything hooked up:

the mbc is connected to the wastegate and the other end is connected to the blowoff valve and vacuum line with a T fitting. btw, i have a tial external wastegate and the mbc is connected to the to the fitting on the side of the wastegate, not to the top.

Thanks a lot for looking at this and for all of your help.

 

You can block off the inlet (mentioned vacuum source) into the turbo. You should be able to go to your local hardware store and find a fitting w/ an allen key in it that should work. Your side port on the wastegate is correct also. You might keep an eye on your BOV/wastegate to make sure they both have enough pressure to open. I don't have much experience with using T's as I used a vacuum block. Best of luck you to.

 

use a plastic T fitting
