your truly helpful and I will definetly contact you when I need help hooking up the vacuum lines hopefully I wont be a big headache. LOL

EBCS won't like the vacuum block. I really couldn't use mine on it as the source for the EBCS needs to be directly from the turbo compressor.

I had to keep the w/g, and EBSC on a seperate connection than my fast turbo vac block which gets it's input post throttle body/intake. With the EBCS and w/g into the vac block I kept overboosting.

2cents~

Yeah, as I mentioned it is not an optimal setup, but it will work. It took some fine tuning, but I got mine to where I was pretty happy with the boost curve using a GFB Electronic Boost Controller setup:



The best way to do things would be a vacuum manifold for the BOV and boost gauge and a direct compressor housing fitting for the wastegate and EBCS.

So I'm having issues while driving my car. Anytime that I give it throttle the car resists and then jerks back and forth a few times, doesn't matter what gear I am in. That's the best way I can explain it, anyone have the same issue or know what it could be?

compressor housing fitting? like tap a fitting into the turbo?
is there any other way than doing that?

Yes and yes!

You can buy asilicone coupler/t-band that has a fitting already on it. They were kinda hard to find though especially one that will fit in the tight spacing. Of you can weld a piece onto the charge pipes and tap that. Similar to how there is a big chunk welded on for the MAF sensor. I didn't like that option as it would destroy a good part of the powdercoating.

At the bottom of the turbo compressor there should already be a thick, round section that is ideal. Start with a small hole and slowly work your way up as to not crack it. Lots lof lub when tapping the threads too.

You gets your boost directly from the source and it will allow the ebcs to remain most accurate. Putting it on the compressor will also allow a slightly safer reading as it will always read a bit higher than what the intake manifold is seeing.

Did that just start? Who tuned the car? Have you datalogged that specific issue and sent it to your tuner?

ima try to go through with the vacuum manifold route first and see how my boost spike is. and if its still pretty bad i might have to go that route. im not familiar or feel comfortable with tapping into my expensive turbo. might have a shop help me.

It just started yesterday and I'm still on the basemap right now

Check the oring on the pump. Are you able to get a log?

This is what I'm using. Search atp quick tap. Idk how well it works since my car still isn't up and running yet.

Log it and send it over to the Maestro LJ he'll take care of you. However, it is a basemap, I would expect the driveability to be less than optimal because every car is different.

I don't have a FBM kit but i've used this quick tap in the past on my old STi with no issues. Its a good substitute if you are against tapping the compressor housing.
