Yes, that is it.

Unless you need to meet emmission laws (suckers), do this.

You want to keep the PCV valve in the valve cover and leave it routed into the intake (stock).
You want to keep the large vac line from intake to brake booster (stock).
Remove every other piece of vac tubing under the hood.

Route a new hose from the vent port on the valve cover to:
a - into stock rubber intake tube (stock).
b - into a new oil catch can located somewhere in the passenger side finder well.

Route a new hose from the turbo output (compressor) nipple source straight to the wastegate unless you want to put a boost controller inline.

Route a new hose from the middle (small) port on the top of the intake manifold directly to the blow-off-valve.

Route a new hose from the driverside (small) port on the top of the intake manifold directly to the fuel regulator.

Route your boost gauge hose to the "P" port on the top of the throttlebody.

Remove all other solinoids, filters, misc crap that is left over.

Everything except the 45PSI. I was thinking more like 70PSI.

i was too lazy to make mine look nice. /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/tongue.gif

and yes, mine is designed with no regard to emissions laws & whatnot.

I didn't draw it on there, but there's a line to a MAP sensor.

You can just take the hose from the manifold instead of the compressor - it depends on whether you want to control/measure your boost from the intake or directly after the compressor

what if there is no nipple on the turbo compressor for the wastegate?



Then just install a "T" inline with the BOV hose.

i took the hose off from the purge control valve, and now i can hear my turbo spool quite loud. i dont have any idle issues, i'm just wondering if thats a "bad" thing to do..is there also some other vacuum lines that is not necessary? thanks!

as long as your boost gauge is measuring on the correct side of the throttle body, it's irrelevant where your boost controller gets the source, as long as it's a reliable source. If it's too much, loosen, if it's not enough, tighten.

For real fun, tighten all the way. /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/devil.gif
