Intake manifold and pcv questions.

[ErBall]

So i just got a new intake manifold, and I am completely lost as to how to hook my pcv valve up to it. Its a topspeed intake manifold my friend ran for a couple of years, and had zero vacuum leaks, and he gave it to me for suuuuperr cheap. He never ran with his pvc valve, but i refuse not to.

I go to install it today, and all is great......till i look to find where the heck i plug the pcv in at.

It has 3 small nipples on the bottom of the manifold. I have them set to go to bov, fpr, and wastegate. There are two ports on the back of the manifold, and there is one big one, i have that for the brake booster, and a smaller one that goes to my boost gauge.

I'm kinda a noob at this stuff, and would really apprecaiate any and all help. Thanks again guys.

thats a good question, bump for you

I think I actually figured this out.

I now have my vacuum settings as follows:

2 ports in the rear: break booster, and pcv (had to order all new brass fittings to make it all work)

3 on the bottom. 1 to wastegate, 1 to bov, and one t'd going to fpr and boost gauge.

I think this is all right. I know the wastegate needs to see boost only, but is it ok having it run strait off the manifold?

the wastegate should have a pressure line from the compressor housing on your turbo, but thats if you have a bigger turbo

now you have left me confused. I am running a gt2872r .64. Where is the wastegate supposed to get its signal from?

on all my set ups i have run the wastegate vacuum line from the pressure fitting on the turbo. if you dont have one id drill and tap a hole. thats how all my set ups have been. hope this helps
