Installing a Mechanical boost guage tonight, can anyone let me know a GOOD vac line to cut into? pics would help

please and thank you !

 

The only one I know, is the one where you tap off for the BOV. It's connected to a little box, and like 2 or 3 other wires...



LOL! I have no idea man. Good luck!

 

the one form the intake mainfold

 

this is going to be fun

a few i can think of that i am not sure are

hose running from the BPV

and there should be a hose from the manifold

pics or ban

 

holy **** it's about damn time you're doin this

 

 

he is not...i am lol

 

lies

can you circle the hose on paint so i know please thank you sir

 

lulz

doesn't sound like a lie to me :p

 

i knowz. jeffs my mechanic lol he breaks strut bolts for me. for absoulutly no charge!!!

 

aw that's teh gheyz i want's a mechanic to break strut bolt's for me

 

It should be this one... But please don't quote me.

 

Jordan ...keep it up and im going to *** u in the ass tonight when i see you !

 

 

any vac line going into the intake manifold or the one on the wastegate will work, the one on the bpv i dont think will work. but im not sure. i installed one on my friends civic last friday in about 5 minutes, but he has an external wastegate so it was easy i just used that vac line, but it only reads boost and not vac. but ya, any hose coming out of the intake manifold will give u boost preasure. u know that one that goes into ur lower charge pipe? right beside the map sensor, that will work to. cause u got boost pressure and vac there.

 

jp sounds like you have an exciting night in store for you

 

my BOV requires a boost and a boost/vacuum source. You can get a boost only from the waste gate actuator. Also i was told you can tap the vac line coming from your TMAP sensor in the cold side piping.

 

u can actually tap into any vac line that is attached to any part of the intake system after the turbo. all boost reading is is the psi ur turbo is pushing, and any vac line will do as long as it is connected to the charge pipe / intake maifold. u could even weld something into ur charge pipe if u wanted to and attach a line there. its works pretty simply.

 

 

is there any benifit to running 2 vacuum sources to a BOV. Have a greddy, running the vac off of the stock BPV, thinking about T'ing in to the intake manifold as well

 

I would say that the BPV line should be more that adequate as a boost/vac source.
