Vacuum Hoses?

[JohnnyT]

I am looking to replace all of my vacuum hoses because they look like they need it. I was wondering if anyone had tried this let me know. Any other help would be great.

Just out of curiosity, where do you tap your MBC?

Right off the compressor cover.

Ok, so let me get this straight, I can tap off all of my lines from my intake mani, except one for the bov. I should then run a vac line from the j-pipe to my ebc to the wastegate acutator? I am trying to put this all together but so many people are saying different things. I just got my aem tru-boost but it arrived at my home and I am at college, thanksgiving break will be when I really get into it my car. Oh, and that pic you posted above is to small for me to see anything.

That is one VERY tiny picture. If you had a EBC, where would you tap the signal line?

What is your point? I can understand if OP didn't understand the small picture but are you saying you didn't understand it either?

If you had a EBC, where would you tap the signal line?

Which EBC? You're making this way more complicated than it needs to be for the OP, use the compressor/j-pipe as pressure source. If manifold source is need as reference for the main unit, use the p port on the TB or use the same line off the boost gauge (FPR line).

So does anyone have an answer to this? Am I right?

Everything is correct as far as J-pipe - EBC - wastegate but you don't cap off anything on the intake manifold, you cap off the 4 vacuum ports (2 on top and 2 on the side) on the throttle body as well as where those vacuum line use to connect to. My suggestion is to focus on properly hooking up your EBC for now and worry about vacuum line removal later.
