someone please confirm vac line routings are correct for my fmic?

[redsuns3838]

ok installing FMIC on my car unfortunately i had no instructions except what i could piece together from forums. fairly simple but just want to check if my vacume line routings are correct



line 1 should go to BOV right?
line 2 should be plugged
line 3 from wastegate should go all the way around to nipple on FMIC piping on passengers side.
line 4 should be plugged / reroute for BOV

let me know if i made a mistake.
thankyou for your help.

1 goes to bov
2 goes to the cold pipe. it's the IACV
3 goes to the cold pipe nipple
4 gets pluged up

now go mail your bov to squidd.

line 1 should go to BOV right? Right!

line 2 should be plugged Wrong! This is your IACV line, connects to the "cold" side piping from your intercooler. Will run WAY better connected...

line 3 from wastegate should go all the way around to nipple on FMIC piping on passengers side. Well, anywhere pressurized really, normally it comes off the hot pipe near the turbo outlet... also use this to hook up you boost controller and/or boost gauge...

line 4 should be plugged / reroute for BOV Recirculate My Son! but Yes.

Make sure the line to your FPR stays connected through all this...

While the arrangement is a little different from my redtop, functionally that should do ya...

Edit: Dangit, too slow for nrg :lol:

ok so line 2 is going to plug into the cold pipe side of the FMIC, basically the med size nipple. right?

yeah i was going to T my boost guage off line 3

unforutnately i cant recirc, i have a blitz super sound DD =/ im going to have a small plate and nipple machined hopefully so i can recirque it. thanks for your help.

The piping going to the TB should have a nipple for #2. The rest is as they said above.

[carkid0007]

How are you supposed to plug that huge hose coming off, in the pics as #4 ?

^^
ghetto style get a bottle cap and a clamp....

i was wondering for #3 is it ok to just hook it up to one of the nipples off the throttle body?

[nrg]

yes, #3 off the TB is fine.

#3 should be hooked up as close to the compressor outlet as possible. this will reduce the chances of boost spikes due to the pressure drop of the front mount intercooler. the vac line to the wastegate actuator should always be hooked up so that the value the wastegate sees is the actual pressure the turbo is putting out. on my car i drilled and tapped my outlet elbow and screwed in a barb fitting to hook my MBC to which then connects to #3. now i have no more boost spikes. even if you are using an electronic boost controller you should still hook it up in this fashion.
