haha, ya I am gonna be eventually, and the more I think about it, I may go remote turbo...

 

Why thank you Frenchy, also consider the location of the boost/vacuum source. For instance, on the Talon my boost gauge source is "T'd" into the vacuum/boost source for the fuel pressure regulator. This is fine. I would not recommend using the brake booster line just because of the I.D. of the hose. It would be much simpler to use any other line (post throttle body) rather than (pre throttle body). Also, when you do go with a turbocharged application, your boost source for the boost controller will have to be pre-throttle body, while the compressor bypass valve (blow off valve) will need a boost source post-throttle body (as it will have to see vacuum). So, considering a turbo application, plan for the future locations on boost and vacuum/boost sources.

Another helpfull part you can use (when the time comes) is a boost source block.

Here is a photo of the SS -4 line for the blow off valve, wastegate, and boost controller.

Donkey that is a nice setup you have. I'm thinking of going to a water to air intercooler. When I do, I'm going to drop my bypass and go to a BOV. Here is a diagram of how mine is set up and I'm monitoring my boost directly off the manifold.

 

Blown, thank you. I definately like your setup on the Dak as well. Air to water intercoolers are only as good as how cold the water is. Typically, for a race application, air to water is a good setup (Ice + water = low intake temperatures). Although, for a street application, I would recommed an air to air setup. If you are worried about heat soaking the intercooler, a great product from Nitrous Express can help you out.

This way, you never have to worry about keeping water flowing through the system, plumbing big lines, wiring up a pump, and installing a water cell. You can get colder intake temperatures by spraying CO2 or nitrous into the air to air.

Here is a picture of my intercooler. To give you an idea of the height, the top of the intercooler kisses the underside of the headlight lenses. I have a race bumper that is cut to accomodate the airflow. Imagine what a 3G would look like with a front mount intercooler....

I want to touch your... dsm.

all over.

 

Blown, where did you run the hose for the boost gauge at?

I'm trying to find a spot and running out of ideas......

 

Look under your dash to the left of where your steering column goes through the firewall. Jus to the left is a grommet with wires passing through the firewall. I ran my line through there, under the master cylinder and up into the manifold.

 

Awwww man, why couldn't you have said something easy? lol

You don't have a picture, do ya?

 

Frenchy, you have me wondering how this build is going to be completed if you can't do the small stuff... I mean asking for a decent place to tie into is one thing, but where to run the wires an such? lol

 

lol, I don't like to do stuff without visualizing it first.

So, be nice! haha
