Ok guys, I recently got a Greddy hotpipe for my s13 sr, but didn't see a nipple on it for the wastegate actuator hose. I've seen the small hose hooked up to the hotpipe mainly, but have also seen it hooked up to the hose that connects the mafs to the turbo. Is there any difference or any suggestions?

well, if you hook the actuator up to the intake before the turbo, youll blow the motor up.

the actuator is activated by the pressure from the turbo, theres no pressure before the compressor.

either connect to the hotpipe, the coldpipe, or tee a line off of the FPR.
