I have a single t4 turbonetics turbo with a eboost street controller, xspower waste gate with a side and top port , and a xspower 50mm bov with a top port. What is the best way to route these together ? I am running a catch can setup routed to the drivers side valve cover , into can, then back too the intake manifold right below the throttle body. The filler cap has a breather installed. Before I had the pcv valve still hooked to passenger valve cover with just a breather after it, and it built boost fine. I removed the pcv , and installed just a breather on the back passenger valve cover. Now my waste gate is staying open at idle , and the car reads zero vacuum on my boost controller . Is this because of the added vent and less restriction with no pcv valve ? Should I just cap the back passenger valve cover to restore vacuum? The wastegate is in perfect condition as I disassembled it too see if it was sticking and it isn't . Thanks in advance

So my gate started staying open at idle and I couldn't figure it out . Car built boost originally , and pulled hard.. after a turbo rebuild,it wouldn't close .. needless to say I'm a complete idiot , and never installed the fire ring in my gate 😡😡 well I don't even understand how this thing was building boost at 2600-2700 rpms without it , or even staying closed!!!

At least you figured it out, you'll never forget that again!

Yeah , I had help working on it. The fire ring fell out of the wastegate and my friend never reinstalled it . I literally pulled the gate apart 3x and could see nothing wrong with it

it happens. If you dont know what it does or that its suppose to be there, you would never know until you had issues.
