Okay does the wastegate work off of pressure or vacuum? Because I don't know where I need to actually put it?<P>Second Question I have hooked up my BOV actuator to where the PVC valve originally went will this give it to much vacuum pressure or is it okay for a BOV valve, or should I be considering a one way valve or a two way valve?<P>I will post some pics with this thread to help you experts understand what I am talking about.<P>

you don't know where to put the wastegate or the wastegate line? the wastegate needs a boost reference. i put my line into the intake pipe between the turbo and the tb. <P>why did you disconnect your pvc valve? that will work but most people tap into the vac lines behind the tb. either way, just splice into a vac line and you'll be set.

So is each type of turbo different because I was talking to a Honda Guy with a Garrett Turbo and he was under the impression it should be a vacuum line?<P>Also let me see here about the BOV Line, The throttle body will be under pressure now with the turbo and your going to put pressure into the PVC Valve which will put pressure into the cover right?

it won't put pressure into the valve cover because the pvc valve is a one way valve.

The wastegate has to see the manifold's pressure.
