I recently intalled a front mount intercooler on my car, however i could not find a location to plug the wastgate line into being that the piping for my intercooler does not have a specific place to install the wastegate line like the sidemount piping does. so what i did was T the line into the vacuum line coming out from the BOV. is this correct or am i doing something wrong here...? any answers/advise would be appreciated, thanx

ok, so it don't matter if the fitting is on the hot pipe or cold pipe?

drill it on the hot pipe, closest to the turbo for better response

You could get a quick tap from frsport, that way you would only have to drill a hole in your coupler.

or you could just use the nipple coming out on the lower part of the throttle body. Orignally for the evap recirculation I think.. That's what I use and it's a perfecdt pressure source, no vacuum

Safest bet would be drill and tap. You dont want your line to long and like mentioned above, the bov needs its own line.
