Anyone to make a vac source?
 
Well I want a vac source near my turbo for my wastegate, anyway I can get one near there? Like welding something to the turbo-to-intercooler piping, or is there any piping that come with something like this? I have a t3/t04e and it doesn't come with the vac nipple like the turbonetics one.

Just tap your charge piping and put a threaded brass nipple in there. Should take you about 10mins to do.

or you can get the vacuum/boost signal from the intake manifold (= more response)

tap the IM to a mcmaster vac manifold and put the manifold wherever you want it.

Drill a hole, put a brass nipple, and mig weld it on? I should be able to get a nipple from homedepot right?

Or will it be smarter to weld a bung on the piping, and screw the brass nipple on it?

it's gonna be fun watching you attempt to weld brass to mild steel...... just tap off of the brake booster line..by some tees and barbs from home cheapot

you put a vac/boost line wherever you want it...one end on your IM or another suitable spot, and the other to your wg/boost gauge/whatever. Ahh, the miracles of flexible hoses.

So you're saying I should just use the one vac line off my manifold for everything? wg, guage, etc..
