MBC hose length

[cory51191]

This may be a dumb question but I don't have an engine bay to look at to figure this out. How many feet of vacuum hose will I need to install a MBC?

Less than 3' total.

J-pipe/turbo/IC pipe nipple-> vac line -> MBC -> vac line -> wastegate actuator nipple.

The less vacuum line you have, the better.

Sounds good. Thank you. When I get to this step, I'm going to purchase a Joe P mbc and order the 20ft of vacuum hose just in case I need it in the future.

it depends also on where you want to mount it. make sure you have enough vaccum line to make it a clean install.

20ft sounds more than reasonable

Keep the hose as short as possibe.

the shorter the better... and use the smallest dia hose you can fit I mounted my MBC right on the snail, I removed the hose nipple and replaced it with a 1/8 inch NPT nipple about 1.5 long, and just have hose from the MBC to the waste gate actuator.

Cory, if you need any further assistance, you know how to get a hold of me.

Shorter the line the better between the wastegate and the pressure source. Best spot to tap is from the compressor housing or J-pipe if applicable.

...use the smallest dia hose you can fit...

Why is smaller diamater hose better? With standard size vac. lines I wouldn't think there would be much of a difference. I could unerstand going say from heater hose to a 1/8" line would make a difference as it would take more time to pressurize the line.
