So I patched up the leaky gas tank and now it doesn't leak anymore
Patched but still wet around the leak
Then I worked on fixing the routing of the boost gauge hose and wires. Before, it ran through the gap between the hood and fender, and was T'd into the BOV recirculation hose. Now:
It runs through the steering shaft boot and is T'd into:
The fuel pressure regulator solenoid, which I read is the right place to T the boost gauge hose.
I have a question. I got my car with the boost control solenoid removed completely from the car. Not just the restrictor, the entire solenoid. Is one of the hoses supposed to be connected to one of these 2 sources connected by the red highlighted hose?
Also are those the correct sources when installing a manual boost controller?
I saved the best for last. After putting in a new fuel filter and a new Walbro 255 fuel pump, I tried to start the car and...

What do you guys think?

nice work man god to see it getting lined out!! cant beat that price!Posted 09-17-2011 at 09:21 AM by turbo_rookie

Yes, that line in red if for the MBC. You would essentially want to figure out where you want to locate your MBC first. Then cut 2 pieces of vacuum line long enough to reach to the MBC from the wastegate and the nipple on the turbo outlet. Then just get your directions or go to google and search for the correct way to install it.Posted 09-26-2011 at 02:03 PM by 1SloEvo
