What are the advantages of running a c02 system vs running it off a vac of the intake. Reading the exile install book it says either or.

With C02 you have a outside pressure source to accurately control and ramp the boost pressure, not having to rely on the manifold pressure, huge draw back to c02 though is that it will kill diaphragm type waste gates due to the temperature.... you really have to use a piston type waste gate.
