Vacuum Source?
Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2006 1:59 am
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).?
