Default using intercooler for vacuum?

okay once the flaming is done, could someone tell me if i can use my intercooler for vacuum to the BOV and to the the external waste gate, it has four holes on it which where intended for running bolts through to hang the manifold but im thinking since it sits fine with two (its a small side mount) can i use the other two for vacuum or ---- it just seal em up

No you can't. Vacuum sources need to be after the throttle body. If you ever run an electronic boost controler you'll need one of those ports, but aside from that cap them off.

See, not so hard. No flaming at all. (yet)

I was too lazy to read more than the first 4 words of the first 5 posts. So I'm going to guess you're talking about the top port on the wastegate that goes to a boost source pre-throttle body. That's for electronic boost controllers like I said in my original reply. You don't have to worry about that if you're using a manual controller.

If that's not what you were refering to, then give some cliff notes on that topic. Everyone here is too lazy to read that much.
