I have just put on my j tube and it doesn't have a spot for second boost line for the control? And I was going to put on the stock licp but it will not fit at all. So do I cut it to fit or make on out of metal because I would be cuttin alot of it.I think about 8-9inch off to get it to fit so help pls

I drilled and tapped and lock-tighted a 1/8" vacumn fitting into the compressor housing of my 16G turbo, I've read it's the best spot to run your boost controller from. Gives me no trouble. If you don't want to risk messing up your turbo housing you can weld a fitting onto the J-pipe..
Ya you can get the licp to work but you will probaly need a peice of metal and do some cutting and for the boost control are you manual or still using the stock controller??? You can get a T and cut into the BOV line and use that as a quick fix until you feel like welding in a boost source but I "personally" have never had ANY problems using the BOV line and personally find it more accurate but.. you know.. Good luck

I guess this is true, but think about it...you "T" at the BOV you're 4+"worth of piping away from the turbo, "T" at the LICP and you're <.5" away...

Just food for thought.
