Hey guys looked around for a bit but didn't see what I was looking for ... I got an s13 sr20det and I've been having vac issues so was told to get a vacuum box I did just wanted to know how and where is the best way to hook this up .... Thanx

Why and what kind of vacuum issues?

Just a few leaks causing me to bog down ... Just trying to eliminate problems and at the same time upgrade a bit

How did u set it up and where did u put it ? I was thinking of putting it over the break booster

you don't need a vacuum box. you need to pressurize your whole intake tract (from turbo inlet to manifold) and listen/watch for leaks.

buy a rubber coupler that fits on the turbo compressor inlet, and a pvc plug that you can thread in an air compressor hose attachment.

hook up your air compressor, dial it up to ~15psi (or something a bit higher than your max boost), and listen for leaks. If you think you hear one, spray soapy water and look for bubbles.

still not sure why you would need a "vacuum box". the only things you need are:

fuel pressure reg - front of intake manifold
brake booster - rear of intake manifold
blow off valve & boost gauge (T connector)- front of intake manifold
wastegate - hot pipe (or anywhere between turbo & throttle body)

Yea I did a boost test (made one with parts from home depot) but as of right now I don't have any major leaks ... But "t"s on vacuums tend to crack and such I did put in a few metal ones but I just want to eliminate any issues I may have later on .. plus I already have the box and just want to install it properly ...

Now by vacuum box you mean a box that has one port you connect to vacuum and now you can hook multiple vacuum to it?
I made one in college and just ran a vacuum line straight from the intake manifold to the vacuum box.

Aww no pics? I was expecting some giant gold plated intake manifold for an sr20 or something
