Alright ive searched but im just confused by the wording, I feel like a complete idiot but rather safe than sorry. Just installed a Big16g on my 2g and I Was hooking up the vacuum lines and ran into a little problem. Now ive read through the VFAQ and looked back at it several times, (I am one of thsoe people that checks back sixty times to make sure im doing it right).

THis is how my manual boost controller is set up now, tell me if this is correc, as vfaq says I need positive pressure or something?

T from BOV to boost controller. Boost Controller to Wastegate Actuator. Is this all that I need? Ther is also a nipple on my intercooler piping? Should I block that off or what? And what would I use to block it off, I dont beleive there are any other nipples on the turbo either...
 
Yeah I know that, but is it the same for a 16g? and how am I supposed to block off the nipple on the j-pipe? or is it more accurate then the tee into the bov? Might as well use the nipple if I got it, especially if its more accurate. Can anyone answer if it is? or if i should block it off? and how?
 
it's the same for any turbo, unless your running external dump and then you have different sources to tap...but your not im sure. If you have everything hooked up where it is supposed to and the nipple on the J pipe is exposed i would just cap it off, with like a little cap from autozone or something...it will act as a boost source otherwise
 
Alright, im just worried it might blow off whatever cap I might put on because its under boost.
