I've deleted the aiv, carbon canister, egr, prvr. I'm using the modified vacuum diagram here everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-z32-t508376.html. My question is, what is it referencing when it says "tothrottle body". I've got silicone boost hoses, so no nipples to connect a vacuum hose to?

You should be okay to hook the wastegate and boost sensors up to any vacuum source.

Well I guess I should have felt around first. Found the nipples on the underside of the hardpipes. Thanks

Which hard pipes? Not the chassis mounted IC pipes, right? Those nipples are for your recirculation valves.

I have nipples on my compressor outlets for a post compressor/pre throttle body source.

The ones on the underside of the pipes going into the throttle bodies. I've got the recirc ones routed already from recirc to balance tube. I'm still running stock turbos, so don't think I have the ones you are talking about right?

Excuse the colorful hoses, waiting for my new ones to come in
