Those with Tial 40mm External Wastegate.....

There are two holes on the gate....one at the top.....one on the side. Am I supposed to plug the hole I'm not using or is it ok to leave it open. I am assuming i should just plug it but i want to make sure.

if you're using an electronic boost controller then you'll use both ports. if you're using an MBC then you use the lower port and you can leave the top open. The fitting that came on the top of mine fell off awhile ago.

thank you. IS it a good idea to feed the gate off the back of the BOV or should i give it its own source off the LICP?

well i recomend hooking your boost controller up to somewere before the throttle plate so there isn't vac(negative pressure caused by the pistons trying to suck real hard with the throttle plate closed) so i would run the boost controller off the licp, did you say if you used a manual or electric? the advise i gave was for manual

oh by the way the bov vac hose has negative pressure because its hooked up on the intake manifold and i would try to avoid that spot even though it works, that was the point i was trying to get at

I've always run mine off of one of the manifold ports with no problems.

Baldie, are you gonna be at the Mirage meet in Meriden next month?
