CA18DET Vacuum Lines?!?!

[sjbsuperman1425]

it almost seems like i dont search huh? lol but i do, honestly. I have THREE vacuum lines that come out right underneath the Fuel Lines on the engine and dont know where they go. any help? i remember reading it somewhere but can't find the thread?

also there is a line that comes off a "T" that is from the turbo compressor housing and the wastegate. can i just run the compressor housing line and wastegate line to my Manual Boost Controller and call it good?

Thanks Again NICO Family!

its telling me to remove the 3 vacuum lines, but that is where my FPR is i think? i'll have to look soon.

Its just a bracket, its not needed. The vacuum to the fpr, are connected from the back of the intake plume. That webpage should answer about 90% of your questions, read thru it and use the pictures.

hey thanks. i that guide helped a little. i just took off the bracket and "T'eed" the butterflies and manifold and FPR together. But there still is another line that runs along the back of the motor and is BOLTED to the comp. housing of the turbo? Can i remove it? i plan on puting my MBC between the Comp. Housing and Wastegate, soo..idk i'll post pics in a little bit.

where does it come from on the back of the motor?

You can certainly run a MBC between the comp housing and wastegate. On my setup, I ran a hose directly between them, and boost at 7psi.

the line i speak of was on the "Bracket" with all the vacuum lines that i removed. there is also a hardline that was right above the rear heater hose hardline?

ey guy if im not wrong about this...im sure that most those vacuum hardlines are just brackets that keep it steady where it leads...

and for the comp housing that T's off with wastegate actuator...i just did a direct connect....it used to be like this

.................|------Wastegate actuatorTurbo-------|.................|-------Turbo Inlet pipe(intake filter pipe)

(...'s are space >_> i cant make macros on this forums? its sposed to look like T'd off lines)

i blocked off the inlet and direct connect the turbo and W.A.
