Default Time to run some vac lines...anyone wanna connect the rest of the dots for me?

Hey guys it's getting close now finally after 10 months! i'm looking for a little help with running my vacuum lines. First time trying to draw this out and think i got everything. lmk if there's anything questionable that i may have forgotten.

does this look about right? Target boost range is 9-20psi

top ports on WG's go to.....Atmosphere

bottom ports on WG's go to......T fitting and then to Port 2 on the Eboost2 Solenoid

port on turbo goes to.......Port 3 on Eboost2 Solenoid (pressurized)

Eboost2 Solenoid port 1 vents to Atmosphere

that's about it. btw, the BOV just goes to atmosphere correct? the used kit i have just has a banjo fitting on top of it.




Info source for this routing......

I only have one wastegate but Port 1 goes to turbo and tees to bottom of wastegate. Port 2 went to top of wg. Port 3 vents to atmosphere. Turbosmart says to use two solenoids when using two wg's but there's people doing it with one. BOV should be hooked to intake behind t.b. so it sees vacuum when you let off gas.

I found instructions & diagrams here: http://www.treadstoneperformance.com...nstall-104.pdf

If I had that setup this is how I'd try it..

I looked again, I see you used the internal wastegate connection setup. I was going by the external setup diagram. If I'm wrong on that pic I'll delete it so it doesn't confuse someone in the future

according to the pic i posted from the turbo smart guidebook that's the external setup but the link you posted shows your diagram as an external setup as well. i'm not sure which way to go again! lol

Your source info wasn't up there when I started my reply lol I didn't see it. That says it's a one port connection, I'm using a two port connection. They're both for external gates

oh ok lol

well, i read the 2 port setup has 2 ways of doing it and for use if you have back pressure issues or the other if you're trying to maximize your boost (like 40psi).

should i try the way i posted and see how it goes and if i find out i have BP issues, switch to a 2 port?
