Too many tees at one vacuum source??

[tbTalonES94]

Ok i turboed my car obviously. I still utilized my non-turbo intake manifold. I didnt tap any new sources for vacuum lines into the manifold. I teed once off the line from the manifold to the fuel pressure regulator for my boost gauge then teed off of it again for my BOV. Can any problems arise from this? All i know is that i have low vacuum at idle and the idle is a little ruff. Im going to check for boost leaks as soon as i get the tool made but i checked my timing and its completley perfect! Someone give me some info?

You should be fine. They make tees with four legs, if you're wanting to clean it up a bit.

I think the champs for vacuum lines used to be the early-eighties Toyotas. I think they were making more money off selling vacuum hose than from building cars.

thanks Defiant. Now i know i should shorten up my boost controller lines though. They are pretty damn long and completely unecesary. As long as i dont have too many vacuum lines at the manifold. One more question.....i have a bleed valve along with a ball and spring valve connected in sequence from the turbo outlet to the wastegate. Will this work or should i tee it with the BOV? Thanks in advance

Why both?

The ball and spring helps to make the boost shoot up really fast and the bleader valve helps control how much psi. I still cant get it below 13 though. I think im just going to buy one. Do you have any recommendations.

Hmph.

To get lower boost, you have to go to a weaker spring in the wastegate actuator, or cut and thread its pushrod so that it's adjustable.

Is it easy to replae the spring? Or can i buy an adjustable actuator?
