6 incorrect ECU pins fixed later and I finally got to drive her for the first time. ECMLink was logging realistic look coolant temps, how ever I noticed my dash coolant temp gauge was not reading. As I was inspecting things further I discovered that the ECU is getting it's coolant temp from the radiator, if I am not mistaken. This seems like all sort of wrong. Since I am in the process of pulling the whole of the wiring from the car, stripping the now unnecessary portions (ABS, A/C, Factory Stereo amp, etc.) should I just tap the factory location and install a GM sensor and wire it back as such or is there some benefit to having the sensor in the radiator?
I purchased a used AEM Tru Boost as well as tial Q BOV. I have read on this one for 4 hours and can't find any information on the BEST solution, just what the options are. I attached a few pictures that show the routing of the vacuum/pressure lines. What is the MOST ideal routing/sources for vac/pressure? I am pretty sure at this point I am either going to drill and tap my compressor housing or my J-pipe for the Tru Boost solenoid, get my BOV from the stock location on the front underside(closer to the head, not the firewall) and the pressure for the gauge in the car from P on the throttle body. I also see that the guys who installed this for me have it configured for an external waste gate, which must not be as effective as having it setup for my internal waste gate. The BOV currently is getting it's /vac/press from the stock location, teed to the tru boost. Leaving my FPR to get it's vac from the stock location as well.
What say you?
