neeby needs help
 
hey i just bought a single turbo setup for my 85 mustang. it is a blow thru setup and ive gotten everything figured out but the external wastegate/boost control setup. i know that your suppose to run a hose from the boost pressue port to the boost control valve then to the side of the wastegate. my problem is the turbo im running has no port on it. i dont know how i should route the hosing to get a manual boost control valve on my car. thanks for the help.

could you drill and tap the charge tube? Or drill and tap the plenum?

jtjohn03 06-19-2011 09:03 PM

i have the capability to do this, yes. but i wasnt sure if it was ok to do?

tjc 06-19-2011 09:07 PM

I should say I dont have experience doing either but I have seen it done. hopefully someone will chime in with experience with this.

I think going from the charge tube would be optimal. Quickest response.

use a vacuum port at the intake manifold not at the turbo compressor housing. boost pressure at the intake is more accurate.

do you mean the intake manifold? like what the carb bolts on to? sorry if this is a dumb question but im kinda confused haha

yes or if the intake manifold doesnt have a port you can use one on the carb.
