Default How do i do my vacuum lines lol (i suck at this turbo stuff)

I know either the blue or red one goes to the yellow (wastegate). which one? and what do i do with the other one?

Green (surge valve) gets hooked up to a boost line on the engine side of the throttle body, or does it matter which side?
there is also a nipple on the cold side pipe from the intercooler, is that one safe to hook up to a boost guage? or should that be T'ed from the same line going to the surge valve?

Can i just hook the map sensor from my megasquirt to the same boost line as the surge valve?


i think that is it, unless I am forgetting a boost line somewhere. any ideas?


thanks a lot guys i couldnt do this without you,
-mike

i ran my wastegate off of my intercooler piping.., as for the surge valve, my car does not have that so i am not 100% on that, i just taped the intercooler pipe and put a 1/8 in npt fitting in it to run my wastgate... works great......

i T'd the boost gauge off of the main vaccum line of the car running to the trottle body....

good luck spikey, sorry i could not help more

run red too yellow if you have boost controller put it in between.my turbo did not have the blue one I would just plug it. for the blow off just just tee in too any vac line I used the pvc valve one. oh for the boost gauge just use the the vac line too.

i ran the yellow to my manifold... I wanted the wastegate reference to be a true boost measure. Meaning boost in the manifold, not boost anywhere before the intercooler. The other 2 i capped and didn't use.

He's right. I should have mentioned i didn't use the mopar rice plate. Hence why i capped it.
