D. Also I cannot find my bcs anywhere, could this even possibly be removed?
edit: found it's not needed explained here BUT I can connect both the mbc AND the boost gauge tap into this single line???

I know that A: is where your AC lines go, one from the compressor and the other from your...I think....condenser by the driver side area. C. that is a coolant hose for your oil cooler...not sure why its blocked off but that usually runs up to the thermostat area via a metal pipe.
 
It's not suggested that you run the MBC and boost gauge off a single line, you want the boost gauge to read intake manifold pressure. Usualy the best place to tap for a boost signal is from the FPR selonoid line going into the manifold. As far as the MBC goes just run one vacuum line from the signal source from the turbo housing and the other to the wastegate actuator. Well hope this helps ya. As a side note hook up your boost gauge first and make sure its working properly, you don't want to overboost and damage your engine.

Yes I will be hooking up the gauge before the mbc LOLz but I do not have the FPR Selonoid/Lines to the intake. So where would I connect it to?
 
ok......second best place to tap for boost signal is going to be the 'P' outlet on the throttle body on the intake manifold. You "should" have vacuum lines comming out of there. Just splice the vacuum line, put the tee in the middle and connect your source line. there ya go, this is the "alternative"

You don't have a fuel pressure regulator signal comming from you'r manifold?
Dude ya gotta have one or you will run seriously lean under boost and do some major damage. our fuel system is dependent on that to raise fuel pressure at a 1:1 ratio every pound of boost = 1 pound of fuel pressure. anyway here is a pic just incase its hiding somewhere in your engine bay. Rock on fellow DSM'r :hellyeah:

^ thanks buddy I'll check to see if those are in place when I get home today. There is just so much missing from this car :cry:

Also...

Do I need to connect this? Any reason why this would be not connected?

My guess is something sprung a leak and the last owner just got lazy and took the easy way out, or maybe a quick fix? Just like how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop, THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW ROFL
Probably wouldnt be a bad idea to hook it back up, to help keep the oil nice and cool for those nice long full throttle pulls :hellyeah:
 
...the last owner just got lazy and took the easy way out, or maybe a quick fix? ....

Seems to be the case about every single thing with this car. Grrr previous owner :nono:

Ok first off here is a pic of my vacuum lines. Where is the P fitting? (see second pic)

Also I have 3 more pics of what are these and what do they connect to.

1.
This is the green vacuum line from above pic under IM on the left side

At bottom on firewall passenger side. I think it's probably the power steering line?

wow this DSM was put together like crap sorry... A. is the lines for AC B. is for you Emissions C. is you oil cooler line(which needs to be hooked up)

1. is your EGR 2. is the plug for your AC 3. is you power steering line

Where did you get this car from???

I know man this car isn't in the best shape :banghead:


ok this should help point you in the right direction. BTW WOW! This thing looks like a emmissions delete gone wrong:toobad:

Appreciate it. I didn't know you could run the boost gauge to the fpr. So my new ms paint setup looks good?

other end of the oil cooler? i don't think i have one. is it needed?

That connects to the water pipe behind the exhaust manifold & turbo.

The other side of the line (if not hooked up?) goes to the Thermostat housing.

Yes it's needed it keeps you oil cool, and from ever heating. etc

The connector Plug that is unhooked, leave it.it's to the ac compressor.
