Too many hoses not enough fittings!!! And vice versa (AND TRUST ME I SEARHED)

[jdminspiredcd7]

OK SO HERES MY ROBLEM....IM PUTTING A NEW TURBO ON MY CAR SO I DECIDED TO GO TOP MOUNT T3 SET UP. I BOUGHT ALL THE NECESSARY THINGS FOR IT TO WORK.......I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT GOES TO WHAT :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: :confused::confused::confused:


EXAMPLE.....MBC VACUUM LINES....EXTERNAL WASTE GATE VACUUM LINES ,GAUGE LINE (AND "T")....AND A NIPPLE THAT HANGS OF THE TIP OF THE TURBO.



SO MY SET UP IS T3 TOP OUNT MANIFOLD,EXTERNAL WASTE GATE,MBC,AND BOOST GAUGE....IT MIGHT HELP


ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE IS EITHER FOR JUST ONE OR THE OTHER(JUST GAUGE,JUST WASTEGATE ETC),THEY SAY I HAVE TO "T" THIS AND "T" THAT, I TRY IT THE FORUM WAY BUT THERES NOT ENOUGH VACUUM SOURCES,I TRY IT THE WAY THAT THE INSTRUCTIONS SAY BUT THERES NOT ENOUGH LINES...OR VICE VERSA...


I KNOW SOMEONE HAS TO HAVE THE SAME SET UP...OR CLOSE TOO IT


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE HELP I DONT WANT TO BLOW ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGE!!!!!!!

sounds like you dove into a project deeper than you can swim.

[DJDANGER24]

MBC connects to anything on the intake side for vacuum purposes and the other connects to the wastegate. what nipple on the tip of the turbo are you talking about ?

[duffman1278]

If you can't swim...you bound drizzal

I don't think you know or did enough searching. It shouldn't be that difficult. Most vacuum sources come from the throttle body. Turbo lines shouldn't be difficult either, just find out which is what. Oil return, coolant and what not.

CHILL WITH THE CAPS LOCK!!!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL AT PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM!!!!

[DJDANGER24]

funny how i just searched and found everything you needed.... search a bit more and be patient, gather all the info for all the individual parts then go from there. relax...its gonna be okay.

why dont u just combine the single threads and use the combined info?

[jdminspiredcd7]

why dont u just combine the single threads and use the combined info?


trie it..... they either dont have a external wastegate,or dont have a MBC, or have a gauge but no MBC and then when i look at the MBC posts the lines are going into th place that the gauge post said....confusing? yes i know , thats why im wondering if any one has the set up i do.:-/

[sbanzer123]

nipple on the turbo is a boost source that you will attach your mbc and wastegate to. take a vacume line from your wastegate to your mbc then to the nipple on your turbo. then take the t for your boost gauge and put it in between the nipple that your fuel pressure regulator goes to. so you will go fpr, t, one side of the t goes to your boost gauge and the other side goes back to the nipple on the intake mani that it came off of. hope that helps.

soinds like it would work...just one little problem,my external wastegate has TWO! fittings coming of it. which one goes to what?

[rc1honda]

Also buy a boost manifold. That way instead of having a engine bay that spider man built, you can just use one boost line into that and run your vac sources from that.

[jdminspiredcd7]

i've seen the vacuum lines posted up millions of times...

[Om1kron]

boost vacuum lines, that's all i'm throwing you.. enter it somewhere and hit enter, tell us if you found anything. try it before you respond, that is your homework. Then tell us what problems you have AFTER YOU TRIED WHAT YOU SEARCHED FOR AND FOUND like a good boy.

............................OK.................... i searched......................and like i said before,its either one or the other........not all three things. and when i put all of them together it doesnt help, lines go into the same lines.welll



OK New Qustion.................does any one have a external waste gate, boost gauge, and MBC? if so can you tell me how you hooked up the lines?

[DJDANGER24]

thats what a T is for, so you can use it to go to 2 different places. hook everything up, take a picture and post up what you dont understand...
