Hey guys, I'm looking for a vacuum source for my EBC to tap into that is after the turbo and before the throttle plate. I was wondering if anyone knows where those first three taps on the top tap from. I'm running the vacuum setup from Taboo speed shop, so I have those plugged off, so they would be convenient to use, I'm just not sure if any are a good vacuum/boost source.
 
The best place you can use is to tap where the air exits your turbo's compressor housing. You can find tons of topics discussing why that's the best place for it so do a search and you'll find lots of info.
 
I KNOW that, but I don't have a tap by the side of the compressor housing. I need to get my car up and running again, and I would like something that I can use as a tap that exists already, until I have time to get one welded into my IC piping.
 
By definition, you don't have vacuum before the throttle plate. Closing the throttle is what causes vacuum to be generated, and only in the space between the throttle plate and the valves.
