Wastegate vacuum placement. STS.
 
Hey Guys, I tore my turbo off the back to get it upgraded and now I can't find any definitive placement on the wastegate. I have the dial-up boost controller from STS and my question is. Which vacuum hose goes to the top of the waste gate and which vacuum line goes to the air port near the bottom. It makes sense to me to have the boost controller going to the HP side (the bottom) and that the reference goes to the LP side (the top) Is that correct?

anyone???

Justin, your main reference line goes from the side of the wastegate to the intake. Your boost controller line splices in and ends up going to the top of the wastegate.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. I didn't want to call you on a Sunday, especially over something as small as that. Thanks a lot. Did you get any of those 7# springs in yet?

I have the springs in. Give me a call Monday if you can.

Okay, I hope I get a response to this without having to waste an entire new thread on this. I took the boost controller off the car because I'm pretty sure I blew the diagram out, but am unsure where (top or bottom of the wastegate) to place the single line from the intake. If my memory serves me it goes to the opposite side of the wastegate. Is that correct?

I have the same setup on a car that I'm working on and have the same questions.

Anybody have a diagram?
