first off, i need the wiring diagrams for the z32 maf in the s13 CA chassis. i tried heavy throttle, but of course the "domain is temporarily unavailable". so i tried searching here but nooooo, the search server is down. its a freaking conspiracy i tell you. ive got the sxoc diagram, but it seems to be wrong.

second, i was wondering what vacuum line everyone used for their boost controllers.. and also how i might go about getting rid of all the un necessary lines. i hate those things..

thanks!

Boost controller goes from hotpipe to wastegate. Wastegate connects to hotpipe, you just put the boost controller in between.

well, ive got the sxoc diagram, but the wires dont seem to match up for me. im not entirely sure whats up but it just doesnt seem right.

as for the boost controller, my gt28 has that same little flange thingy on the front as the ca t25 to accept that little stub that the original wastegate was connected to. (phew, that probably made no sense). i was thinking i would just use that for the pressure line thingy.

You mean a vacuum nipple on the compressor? Yeah, you can get the wastegate signal from there too, and sometimes that's a better place to get the signal.

Luckily Tim, I understood that garbage, and yes you can do that. But if it was me.....

I wouldn't use the hot side to reference your boost pressure. The pressure is going to read higher on that side than it is the cold side. I ran mine straight to the manifold and blocked off the fitting on the front of the turbo.
