Wastegate Install

Re: Wastegate Install
If you want the WG open more accurately with respect to what the motor is actually seeing, get your source from somewhere on the intake manifold. If you take your source off the compressor housing, there will be some pressure drop when going through the charge pipes (more if it's through an intercooler) so opening at ~7psi at the compressor housing is different than what's actually going into the motor.
Side note, this is unlike a BOV or BPV where it *MUST* have it's line go to a source that gets a vacuum (on the engine side of the throttle body).
