i need help with my vacuum lines
i need help with my vacuum lines I have sts rear mount. the wastegate has a top port and a side port nipple. I have one nipple on the pipe near the middle on the car going to the intake. I have a turbosmart boost controller. I bought a vacuum block and the boost gauge mounts there. also running a three port catch can, with both valve covers going to it, i have two check valves plus an air oil seperator running from the intake to the catch can. the bottom port of the catch can runs to the housing on the turbo. if this makes any sense to you please help.
Run everything that requires vacuum to the vacuum block. There is a sticky that shows the routing of the vacuum lines with a boost controller.
As far as the catch can goes, I haven't seen a three port catch can. You also said you have the bottom port going to the housing of the turbo. If you are talking about on the compressor housing, thats not right. It needs to go to the inlet of the turbo between the air filter. There is also a good thread floating around about the routing of catch cans on forced induction vehicles.

ok i welded a nipple on the intake tube in between the turbo air filter and the turbo itself. As for the boost controller. I have a vacuum line running from the vacuum block to the bottom port on the wastegate and I'm going to splice the boost controller into this line and run to the top port on the wastegate. does this sound right??? also should i splice the line from the vacuum manifold to the wastegate for the msd boost a pump.(same vacuum line)
