vacuum lines
 
Guys,
I'm trying to finish getting the diagrams/pictures for my turbo install, and I am lost. >:(

Where can I get info on how to run the tubing as follows:

1) To/FromTial Wastegate

2) To/From Blow off valve

3) To/From Boost controller

4) To/From Boost gauge

Any information or diagrams would be appreciated... ;D

All of that will depend on your car, what you currently have installed, what intake manifold you're using. No one is going to be able to give you measurements or diagrams of exactly how to install your lines.

Check out Jeff's compilation of HMT users' setups, and get ideas on what you need to do..

high pressure hoses can be bought at stores like NAPA, just take in your parts or write down the inner diameters you need. The hoses will work for vacuum only, and you want to give yourself enough slack that they wont be sitting on the engine, or exhaust at all (melt) unless you plan on wrapping them with flue tape or something else to absorb the heat.

I am using the stock intake manifold, a tial wastegate, and want a turbo xs manual boost controller. I don't need exact measurements, just to know what connectos to what? for instance, where does the port on the top of the tial connect (i.e. vaccuum source?)

Thanks for the help (again)

You should have a nipple on your compressor housing on the turbo. You will run a line from your tial wastegate to your compressor Nipple (or if you dont have a compressor nipple you can run it to the intake manifold) This is also where your boost controller goes, in the middle of this vacuum line.

Bov goes to intake manifold
Boost gauge goes to intake manifold

on the side of the compressor housing there should be a bunch of bolts, loosen them and rotate.
