Front mount question

[nissans13240sx]

My question is, where do i connect vac for the wastegate now? I had it on my stock cold pipe for the SMIC but now i dont have a nipple to connect. Thanks

You need to have one welded as close as you can to the turbo. The closer the boost signal the less chance you have of over boosting.

Why do they sell everything backwards?! All the cold pipes I've seen for sell by companys has the wastegate nipple on them near the TB and no BOV flange. All the hotpipes I've seen for sell have the BOV flange and no wastegate nipple!

so gotta get one welded on the hot pipe then right? thanks for the responses

[nissans13240sx]

second opinion anyone

i have a second opinion...get one welded to the hotpipe as close to the wastegate as possible

Yep your best bet is to weld it...hopefully you can find someone that can weld aluminum. I went to probably 3 places that weld, (muffler shop and a mechanic) and they couldnt weld aluminum. I got lucky to run into this guy that made my nipple and welded it for me at his house.

i went to the guys who weld the (unsure of what they are called...) the metal bars that you see on boats...they hang over the driver seat usually? lol well thats where i went and they didnt have a problem

[nissans13240sx]

Just run it off the same vaccum line as the BOV.Iv had mine like that for years.with no problems what so ever..Plus you'll get faster turbo spool..

[nissans13240sx]

theres a good idea, i never thought of that.

Drill a very small hole in a coupler on your hotpipe and put a large T in it. The barded end will act as a pressure fit and will not leak. Block off one end of the T and run the other to the wastegate. Mines like this and it hasnt blown out with over 20psi. Cheap and easy.
