Vacuum Source?

Post by Optikal »

In the help files, it refers several times to taking vacuum source directly from the intake manifold. I was talking with Golden Eagle, and they told me I'm basically wasting my time tapping the intake manifold and should just tee the brake booster line.

I need vacuum sources for my BOV, boost gauge, MAP sensor (3-bar), FPR, and wastegate. I was planning on leaving the wastegate vacuum coming off the turbo housing directly. For the rest I was going to get the Golden Eagle vacuum manifold, I just need to decide where I'm going to get the vacuum source from that goes into the vacuum manifold.

Does anybody have an opinion on this? Should I use the brake booster line as GE suggested? or should I tap my intake manifold and use that? Will running the MAP sensor off the vacuum manifold work fine (in the K-Manager help it says that the vacuum line going into the MAP sensor should come directly from the intake manifold and not be tee'd).?

The MAP sensor must be connected as close as possible to the intake manifold with its own vacuum line.
