So I installed my GodSpeed Super FMIC and low and behold the fucking doesn't have a nipple for the actuator (what the fucking shit?)

I am running Greddy Type S bov.

S14 SR20DET.

Where do I run the line for the actuator? why would this company leave the nipple off for the FMIC are they that damn cheap?

please help Im about to cut a hole and JB weld the a damn nipple on.

For the wastegate? Just run it off the intake manifold.

thats what im telling you and lol at leave it unplugged you're right it would be fast for a few seconds hahaha.


I just gotta figure out which vacuum hose only shows boost and run that one to the wastegate.

Also you're right on the get what you paid for :\ I need to order a new pipe that has nipples and shit... It was 350$ kit so i kinda figured everything would be there... Guess godspeed is a joke.

You got 2 option they laid out for you. run it to the intake manifold or just tap a fitting on there it's not hard at all don't need to weld it or anything.
Can't say Godspeed is a joke just because of that it sure saved you alot of money.

good point im assuming you can buy these fittings at Lowes? do they have threads on them to screw in as was stated?

thank you guys for the prompt responses.

edit never mind I did search and see what you're saying! I'm gonna do the barb fitting tomorrow thanks for the tip on that BIG help!!!

Wait, do all IC kits come with the nipple? I thought that all of them don't have one. Even the expensive ones.

Yup...plus you dont get a damn hot pipe anyways when you get an aftermarket FMIC. Even my damn Blitz LM FMIC didnt come with a hot pipe so no nipple there.

Just run it off of a vacuum source on the intake. A little vacuum isn't going to hurt your wastegate.

Beat me to the punch :D



To the O/P, be sure you get the JB weld, as there isn't enough pipe to trust the threading of the 1/8" npt barb.


The other option is to goto a local welder and have them weld 1/8" NPT bung on there so you can screw the fitting in.
