I was just wondering where to hook up the vacuum hose from the wastegate after I installed the fmic. I know the stock cold pipe off the sr20det has a nipple where the wastegate hose connects to, but with the fmic, there's no nipple on the cold pipe to hook up the hose. So, do I customize one or where does it go? Any advice and suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!

To the BOV my good man! You have to tee it off, and one goes from the wastegate to the "T" than one from the "T" goes to the BOV

I added a barb nipple to my hotpipe and ran a vac. line directly to the wastegate.

I've heard it helps with boost response
