Mate! Which FMIC kit do you have? Are you talking about the nipple on the original pipe near the air filter?

there was no nipple off the new pipin , can i run the boost vacume hose to another vacume hose - some one told me to do that - just want to clarify its okay

Are you talking about this hose?

You need to get a nipple welded to your new intercooler piping, just like it has on the standard piping.

Well I got better way of doing that. You can "T" it off the silver pipe that that runs to the throttle(where your BOV is). Look carefully and you will see a hose that runs from that silver pipe to the inlet manifold. Its a bigger diameter hose and you will not miss it. This is what you need:

1. "T" brass fitting that fits the diameter of the hose from local plumbing store ($16)

2. 1/4 inch barb fittings (the nipple) to suit the "T" brass fitting from pirteck hose supply or Enzed hose supply($2)

3. 2 x clamps

With that, all you have to do is to cut the bigger diameter hose and install the brass "T" into it. Run the hose (supplied by the FMIC supply) into the 1/4 inch barb fitting (nipple) to the wastegate. DONE!
