ok so i'm having a hell of a time doing the vacuum lines, i don't know what goes where and do not want to risk it....so i really need some help. I made a picture with my great paint skills haha to help explain this...any help will be greatly appreciated

The guy i bought my turbo kit off of made this little "vacuum manifold" he said to t off my brake booster line and connect it there (he said that running lines from the turbo is less acurate). and from this "manifold' to run a line to my wastegate, bov, and boost gauge... my picture explains this...

so would that work alright?

Next question is how do i connect my mbc to all this? there is a threaded hole on top of my wastegate, do i need to connect on end of the mbc here and the other....? there is a little arrow on the mbc, i tried to show it in the pics, is this to show which direction the air should flow? also there is a plus and minus sign on it, are those for the boost, turn it in for less boost, out for more?

And lastly, how do i conect my fmu into all this mess? i might not need to run it, but incase i can't get it tuned in time, how do i connect it to this?

Thanks in advance for any help, i'm really desperate and getting very worried about messing this up.

 

Looks like spaghetti to me.
I have one tip for you. Make sure you tap the brake booster line BEFORE the check valve. If you don't you'll get some funky readings on your gauges, your brakes will suck, and the car will run like crap.

by before do you mean to the left or right of it?
and is my drawing really bad? i was kinda impressed with it lol

Yeah dude, you're making it too hard on yourself. All you gotta do is tap the brake booster line BEFORE the check valve (meaning in between the manifold and check valve). The wastegate actually doesnt need to be on vac but whatever, either way.

lol ok, this is just my dd and first time boosting anything so i'm worried.
But where would the wastegate go if not on a vac?
Does everything else seem good?
Thanks alot for your help

 

The top of the wastegate gets hooked into a boost cntroller if one's used. Otherwise just let the wastegate work off the spring.

They mean that the wastegate only uses boost to function, so you can get the source from several sources. Some turbos have a nipple coming off of the compressor housing that is used for the wastegate. My friend's Conquest has a line coming off the charge pipe going to the throttle body. I'm hooking mine up like you have it.

Edit: I understood your drawing just fine. for visuals

 

i don't know about the wg or the mbc. but the top part looks fine. just tap before the check valve. meaning to the left if you're looking straight at it. search "vaccum manifold" and you'll see a few golden eagle setups. someone has a real nice setup, i forgot what his username is though.

ok cool thanks alot. Do you know if the nipple on the side, of the mbc, goes to vacuum line and the one on the bottom the the wg?

I can't say without any certainty. It depends how the MBC was constructed. Try to find the installation instructions?

 

I always like to tap my WG after the intercooler somewhere in the charge piping. But either way is fine. You really should invest in an electronic boost controller. I'd rather even just have a stiffer spring. I personally don't like manual boost controllers at all.
