Boost Gauge + Controller + BCS removal

[PlatypusOfFury]

Stupid question,

Setting up my new Boost gauge and a MBC this week. also intend to remove the BCS.
need a refresh on the order of operations.

Pressure Source -> Gauge Tee -> Manual BC -> Wastegate?
or PS -> MBC -> Tee -> WG?

Also, removal of the Boost Control Solenoid... Seen people "cap" theirs, also seen people remove them like this link web page. Safe to just remove since the MBC is replacing control?

Thanks for the noob help. I'm getting better step by step!

I wouldn't tee into the boost controller line. Any other vacuum source is better, BOV is a common one.

Just remove the stock BCS entirely.

Thanks for the BCS help.

the Tee is for the Boost Gauge not the MBC. just adding both at the same time

I ended up just tee'ing off the P line on the TB for the gauge, and tee-ing off the AFPR source (manifold, far driver's side) for the BOV and using the large manifold vacuum fitting (far pass. side) for the boost controller and that is a dedicated line. You may be able to tee of that one for your gauge though, as it's a realtively large line...the others are small and not the best idea to pull too many things off them.

I know the Tee is for the boost gauge, you misunderstood me. I wouldn't tee into you MBC line to hook up the boost gauge. I would tee into a different vacuum source. As I stated, I would tee into the BOV vacuum line for the boost gauge, or one of the sources JNR suggested.

Thanks for the clearing up guys. I'll work that route!

so close to having this SOB up and moving again
