Ok I'm going to install a manual boost controller and it says locate the compressor reference port. I'm 100% positive my turbo doesnt have any port besides for a little square which appears to be factory welded shut. Please help! Can I run it to a carburetor vacuum source or intake manifold source or even the blow off valve vacuum port instead?

 

anyone?

 

You can reference the boost controller anywhere between the compressor and throttle blades. It just needs to see positive pressure (boost). I would not recommend using a vacuum source.

 

there is no port or anything between the compressor and turbine blades... Would it be possible to use an intake manifold or vacuum port? Or could I weld a bung on my intake pipe and run a vacuum line to that?

 

Yes, you'll have to create your own reference point by either welding or tapping a fitting in your compressor, intake tubing, or elbow.

 

so just to clarify because I dont really feel comfortable drilling into my compressor lol, I can attach a hose to the pipe containing the blow off valve if I wanted?

 

The red arrow points to where I tapped my TB hat for the boost controller/wastegate reference point. The blue arrows are other places along the intake tubing that would've also worked.

 

oh cool thanks alot for the picture, i appreciate it, ill probably weld it right after the compressor than just so i dont have to run like 5 feet of line. thanks again
