i need some help with the hoses on the cold pipe for a KA-T, well i know there are 2 nipples i need that are 1/2in, for the valve cover and the right of the throttle body, but on the left side there is a small vac hose that is 1/4in, i know that controls the idle, i run the BOV and wastegate threw that right??? or do i make another 1/4in nipple to run to the wastergate??

thanks

The idle air controller hose should be connected to a pressurized port(when boosting). The hose coming from the hose should be connected before the turbo or you will pressurize the crankcase and cause oil leaks. The wastegate and BOV signals need to come from th manifold after the throttle body.

You can also just put a little filter on the hose going to the top of the valve cover. I think most people do it that way. Looks pretty sweet. I've heard that on some cars, oil might spray out a little from time to time but haven't heard any KA owners complaining about it. Also could be another thing for the EPA to ***** about but who the hell cares?:nono
