Wastegate , bov and other things plumbing
« on: September 11, 2023, 09:20:45 AM »
With my ls engine I’ll run the wastegate plumbing right off the compressor to the boost controller. Now for the bov, boost gauge and boost ref fpr do I run that off the back of the intake where it connects to my brake master ?

Thank you! This is actually your old turbo kit I bought off Dave a number of years ago. I’m finally getting around to putting it on.

You can also use *some* of the ports on the manifold around the throttle body on OEM intakes. I say some because different some of the nipples are pre and some are post throttle vacuum signals. On my LS6 intake, I used the driver-side nipple with a 5/16" push-lock fitting (it's actually 8mm, but hard to find in the US).
