1G Vacuum source

[bryanzomg]

Question guys. I am running an external WG with vacuum/boost source running to throttle body NIPPLE VACCUM . Should it be ran this way or would it be better off at the intake manifold?

Would the effects of this be lag?
I was thinking of drilling compressor housing with a 1/8 NPT... any write ups on that

Ate you running a boost controller? Your wg should have 2 lines. One normaly comes from the compressor housing/jpipe. And the other comes from your boost controller. Or it can possibly be open if no controller is being used. It depends on your setup. You want the lines to be short as possible.

Also, not all ports on the throttle body are vacuum and boost. I would avoid it unless you have to.

I’m running the bottom vaccum port on throttle body. Also yes I’m running a manual boost controller

I am unfamiliar with the throttle body ports. If I recall the "P" port is the one. But one port on the wg goes to the jpipe/compressor and the other goes from the gate to the boost controller. I would not use the throttle body for this type of thing.

I don’t not have a J pipe, I’ve got a downfiring turbo with no fitting on compressor housing. Would tapping the intercooler pipe that joins down firing housing be appropriate ?

Yes, just grab a 3/8npt barb from the hardeare store and drill/tap the intercooler pipe.
