so im in the process of cleaning up and redoing a lot of the little stuff in my car, one of which is to clean up the vacuum lines. i had my blitz ebc at the end of last season, but couldnt get it to work right. either i had a boost leak or it was hooked up wrong or both. what i really need to know, is where are the vacuum lines supposed to go? no one has ever given me a straight answer.

i think the one from the wastegate goes from the OUT on the unit, but where is the ideal place to run the IN line from?

If it has a solenoid setup... 1st make sure you are running it out of the right ports. Some ebc's have the solenoid available for internal and external wastegate. It matters...

Out is normally to wastegate, in is from turbo pressure line... (pressure from manifold)

Hope this helps

so a vacuum line straight from the intake manifold would be ok?

there is one from the intake plenum that connects to either the top or bottom crossover pressure line...I believe its the bottom one. That should be your in on your ebc solenoid. Out to your wg.

do u have a pic? im kinda confused

the way i have it setup right now (that im trying to improve) is on the i/c pipe in between the turbo and the i/c. would that work properly?
