107457, to the people who tee'd into the brake booster
Posted by Hedge, Nov-22-09 10:12 AM
so im planning on running my wastegate, bov and fmu off of the brake booster line, but i cant find anything to tee it with. No where around can get a 11/32 tee, the closest i can find is a 3/8 and its way to loose. So how did you tee it? also if i were to run a line like this, would it keep proper vacuum and boost levels? I dont want to have three tee's off of the one line.

I have mine configured like this (minus the boost controller)... It might be easier for you to do something similar.

I dont have a fitting coming off the compressor housing, Right now my boost gauge is tee'd off of where your fmu is. where does the vacuum line that you took off go to? Im asuming its the one closest to the driver on the "three source" tapped fitting, and i cant remember where that goes, but i could run the fmu, bov and wastegate off of it if it doesnt have anything to do with emmisions.

From left to right, the ports are: FPR, cruise control, EGR. You can tee the EGR vacuum line.

My compressor housing didn't have a vacuum port either, but I drilled and tapped one.

You can run of these boost taps in lieu of drilling/tapping the compressor housing.

I would not run too many T's off one vacuum line.

My BOV is a Synchronic with three fittings on it. I run a vac line off the MPx TB that hits the 2 of the BOV fittings.

A line runs off the triple tree on the IM for the WG. Another line off the tree runs to the Aeromotive 1:1.

My compressor housing is not provisioned for a boost tap either however in the near future I need to.

I would just plug the factory ports on the IM, and run a vacuum manifold, they're only $30-$45.

I'm running an OBX vacuum distribution block between the intake manifold and the brake booster. it would probably work better for what you're trying to do. they sell them with different amounts of ports too.
