i'm having a problem understanding the vacume lines. there is two vacume ports one (on the top and one on the side). witch one goes to the boost controll. someone wrote that the one on the top is for a electric controll that does not make any sense to me. the boost controll has two ports one to waste gate where does the other go. could somebode please describe from start to finish the vac line system. everything else is crystal clear.

I never hooked up the stock electronic boost control, I went straight to a manual boost valve. So I really can't help you. But, why are you wanting to use the limited stock setup?

If you want to go manual boost control, cap off one of the ports, then run a line from the other port to the manual boost valve, then to the wastegate. VERY simple to setup.

So you say it doesn't matter what port I use. ther is a knob and two prorts. so one is comming in and one is going out. i dont understand why there are two. if one goes from the waster gate to the boost controll where does the other port on boost control go? i see on some turbos where mabe they drilled a hole near the filter. or the intake manifold. once i figure out that and a good place to put the oil line i have this in nexed weekend.
