well guys, I post a thread about me over boosting a few days ago. and I check the waste gate arm and is moving fine. Then it hit me that I might have messed up on the vac diagram on it. I did some search on the fsm but came up emthy handed ( unless u can point me into that page that I miss) I swap in the Sr T25 when i install my CA. and just now remember that the clip had a boost controller ( that somebody didn't included with the clip -_- ). so if u can please tell me which vacume lines go where. right now i got the one from the waste gate to the power transistor box "BUT I"M SURE IT"S WRONG". I'm clueless about what I'm missing. so u guys please help me out. ( i'll get boostcontroller soon, just short on $$ now, and would like to enjoy my CA without hitting the boost cut, or BLOW my beloved CA ) thanks in advance. C

Hey C,

You really don't need use the factoy boost controller and I actually don't recommend running the factory boost control soleniod. Its pretty useless unless you have everything else hooked up, and doesn't really do much even when it works properly. Just running a vaccum/boost source to the wastegate will work perfectly, and deliver stock boost quickly accomplish the same thing. Just run a vaccum hose from the port on the side of the intake manifold (between the #1 and #2 runners) to the wastegate directly. When you do get a boost controller, cut into this line, and run the controller in between the manifold and the wastegate!

nope, not the 4 nipples, there is one larger diameter one, right behind the throttle body. It should be the same diameter as the wastegate line.

and you're welcome glad I could help

sorry, forgot about those of you running stock turbos. Yes, run it from the compressor nipple if you have a stock turbo.

lol... don't forget about us little folk! I assume that the sr20 turbo I purchased (enroute to me) will not have the appropriate nipple on the compressor to keep my current setup?
