Ok Who Has A Picture Of Their Engine Bay.

[jasont82]

ok guys ive been searching and people know where the vacumn hose goes but i have no idea which hose to tap into with out a picture. does anyone have one please! ive installed the new hybrid kit just need to connect the vacumn hose that comes with it. there are too many hoses to choose from and i have no idea what any of them are for. does someone have a picture that clearly shows what hose i need to tee into.

thanks.

the best place is to weld the nipple from the old piping into the pipe that goes from the turbo to the intercooler. otherwise just hook it into the line from the plenum to the bov.

The closer to the turbo the better.

I got the same kit nowhere to put the hose.....

I had a tee between the plenum and blow off valve for a awhile seemed to work ok.....

but changed it in the end by getting a nipple put into the piping.... got this pick not all that long ago from someone elso on the forums....

this is where i got mine put in cause welding into the hybrid piping was going to be to much of a stuff around because its made of something cant rember what.

perhaps aluminium? How is that a stuff around?

it is pretty thin alloy, so if they don't do i t right they could end up making a mess of the piping. also it is best to have it before the intercooler, so i takes into account any restriction caused by the cooler, and doesn't spike in cold weather.

also then you can use the old nipple off the stock piping and weld it into the stock hot pipe (you can't weld steel to aluminium). but you also have to be careful welding it in as if the welder is too hot it well make a mess of that piping too.

A per bygrave316's last pic.

Remove pipe, drill hole, tap hole, use thread sealant, screw in nipple. No welding, no mess, no chance of stuffing up piping (provided you can tap a hole neatly )

Drill ze hole... tap that motherf*ka... screw in that nipple... make sure she's tight!

Recipe for a good night; and the solution to your problem!

might be a problem is you lack welding skillz... ever heard of a tig. ever seen two coke cans welded together? I have

no problem with my welding skills, but seen some other people make a hell of a mess of things. i just silver soldered (oxy welded) mine in. its extremely strong.

probably should warn people to take the cooler pipe off before welding/drilling/taping the cooler pipe. you don't want metal filings going into the motor. you never know, someone might do it.

[satanic]

I didn't know you get filings when tapping holes.... what type of holes are you tapping

[mad082]

you do get filings. i use taps and dies all the time at work. and you also get filings when you drill.

[satanic]

Yes I know mate; only jokin with ya!

[r33_racer]

yes so when tapping a hole, and you dont want to get filings/swarf in the pipe or wherever, you put heaps of grease on the tap and go slow and it catches it all and no problemo. Well thats my trick...dont go telling anyone.

I got the same kit and i tap off the bov vacuum and the turbo hardly even spools up.. so to fix this i have to do this modification and drill and tap the pipe before the throttle body..
