I have a few ?

1. I have an external wastegate, I am not using a boost controller, there are 2 vacuum ports on the wastgate, which one do I use? top one or bottom one?

2. I have a Greddy RS blow off valve and I need to know how to set it to get the max swoosh sound, I has a hard and soft setting by turning the little screw on top, Should I turn it to the hard or the soft?

3. I have a 1990 Acura Integra GS with a B18b, It has a PVC system coming off the intake, I zero room for a filter so I am going to use a piece of screen on the compressor opening, How would I hook up my catch can?

I know these ? might be a bit amatuer but I am new to the turbo seen and want to know as much as possible.

1. The bottom one. Top is used for an electronic boost controller.

2. Just run it and adjust it until it sounds how you want.

3. You mean PCV (not PVC). If you are only running a screen filter, there isn't an easy way to hook up to your pre-turbo intake for a vaccuum source (which hardly gives you vaccuum at all). I don't even run a vaccuum to my catch can. Ideally you would hook it up to a slash-cut pipe in your exhaust.

What do you mean by slash-cut pipe in your exhaust?

you have to find a place in your exhaust which has vacuum and you stick the vacuum line to the exhaust the line should face the way the exhaust gases move.. this is the best place for catchcan vacuum source but you prolly wont ever pass emission tests with this setup

Should I run the bottom nipple on my wastegate on a normal vacuum source or from the nipple on the compressor of the turbo?

Also I had my ecu chipped for the amount of boost I am running ( 6PSI ) and when turbo hits boost it bogs and sputters?? Any suggestions, I am using the stock injectors and the stock fuel pump but I do have an external one yet to put in.

Cheers

Be careful where you add the slashcut. I thought I was in a good location and it turned out to produce pressure instead of vacuum.
