Well, i'm finishing up my turbo swap etx on the RB25. The old setup had a nipple coming outta the compressor housing on the turbo, going to the boost controller. The new setup dosen't have said nipple. I know i'm supposed to be getting my vacuum source somewhere between the turbo and the throttle body. It seems like it would be a PITA to plumb one into my IC piping, cause its so thin...i wasn't sure if I could get it to seal properly. I do have an open vacuum source on the TB. Can I get my source from there? Or is that a no no?? Any help gents and gals??

for reliable vac/pressure source for the BC, hook it to after the throttle-body. you can use the nipple taht the blowoff valve connects to. there's extra one next to it, or tee off it.

so just go off of the vacuum source that the BOV is using? right now its coming off of the top of my greddy intake. so I can just 'T' the hose and run it to my BC? or should I 'T' it at the intake? thanks for the help! I should be starting back up tonight!!

Yah. You can tee it off from the manifold. Or FPR.

no; the fuel pressure nipple is too small.

i "t"'d it off of the line running from my manifold to my WG. As soon as I get this damn shifter ****uation figured out, and finish the last piece of my downpipe, i'll start it up and see what we have going on. Now "technically" my engine bay is complete...now to the rest of the pieces
