For the SR20
I am installing a Cusco Cold Pipe and there is no nipple for the vacum line f
rom the wastgate. Could the waste gate use another source of vacum????

Either drill the pipe and weld a fitting onto the pipe or just get a vacuum source from elsewhere. T off the bov or tap into one of the vacuum sources on the throttle body.

on the throttle body/intake manifold there are two nipples (well there's more but on top there's two of them...) a big and a small one. I have one going directly to the BOV no Ts. The other one is connected to the wastegate with a T for the FPR and EBC.
If i remember correctly i think it's the big one that goes to the BOV and the small one to the wastegate... i'll check tomorrow to see if im correct...
the others are just blocked off...

you should be able to tap into the throttle body one that goes to fpr and/or ebc. From what i hear dont tap the bov.

Just tap your turbo outlet elbow for a nipple fitting. Thats what I did. Just make sure when you drill a hole for it you wont be putting it in a place it wont fit.

the one on the bottom of the TB is the on u should use. FPR/BOV etc will all see neg pressure (vacume) the W/g doesnt need to see vacume at all. when u look at the TB u will see that the bottom nipple is actually BEFORE the closed throttle plate and the 2 on top are behind it...they see vac...the bottom one doenst.
