Turbo install mbc hookup

[welfle18]

Well here is the problem, the old way I had it hooked up is with the wastegate and the turbo housing feeding the mbc. Well the problem I am running into now is that the turbo does not have a nipple off it like the stock turbo did. I don't want to run it off the bov because I hear its not supposed to be hooked up that way. Any suggestions that wouldnt involve drilling and tapping the turbo. I would only do that as a last resort. Thank you in advance.

Who said it's not supposed to be hooked up that way ? It works just fine.

I've always had mine hooked up from the vac. port closest to the throttle body. Have one main hose coming off with a T and on goes to the BOV and the other runs to the MBC then to the wastegate. Works fine...

At high boost levels the oem bov begins to leak which will cause a poor vacuum signal. I suppose if your bov didnt leak at all then it wouldnt be a problem. Most everyone does t it off the bov, but you should use the compressor outlet. If you dont have one, you could drill and tap a fitting into your intercooler piping.

1g crushed BOV FTW.. Hasn't leaked under 30 PSI so no problems...

Tap for a nipple on the lower intercooler piping as close to the turbo as you can. Ideally, you want an MBC source as close to the pressure source as possible.

I have a 1st gen Forge bov so I am not worried about a leaky bov. I did notice today that the compressor housing does have a hole tapped its just blocked off with a plug. Think that I am going to go that route. Thanks for the replies.

Tap a nipple in on your jpipe, its not that hard now.
