ETS 7" FMIC wastegate/ mbc hookup

shhh i know · Sep 15, 2013

So I have a 7" ETS FMIC to install and am wondering how to hook my manual boost controller/wastegate up once I do. Currently I have my MBC hooked up properly from the wastegate to the MBC and the MBC to the nipple coming off my lower ICP. My question is since the lower ICP that comes with the ETS kit doesn't have that nipple where am I suppose to connect it? Their install says to tap it to the bov but as I understand it that is a bad idea. Has anyone else has run into this issue and care to share what they did, it would be much appreciated! :confused:

You just need a boost source from the intake manifold.

You can also use the "P" port on the throttle body.

I wouldn't weld a new bung on the intercooler pipe. You should have plenty off options on the intake manifold.

It would be much easier than welding a bung.

i also ran into this problem. all i did was weld a barb fitting into the j-pipe, hook it up to boost controller and run other line to WG and walahhh no issues.

Welding a bung is the route i went as well. Never been happier.
