BP turbo build/advice

TcRocket

I guess I really have no desire to see how much vacum I'm making. And if I were to have a vacum leak it would barely Bo noticeable however upon boost it'd leak like a bitch. So I really don't see the reference there. I'm only trying to keep a healthy engine based upon boost pressure not vacum. The boost controller controlling the waste gates will only see positive pressure so why should the gauge controlling the solenoid need to ever see negative pressure. I'd rather see a gauge at zero instead of jumping all over in the negatives. If I don't see a number above approximately 3k then I know I have a line leak issue. Just my .02

Do it however you want, but there's a reason everyone else who installs a boost gauge does it that way. And doing it the right way takes no additional effort since tapping the Im takes minutes.

Just the way I seen Sasha state was that only the bov needed to ever see negative pressure. I've yet to install my turbo so I'm always open to advice...... Just saying how I was looking at it wrong or not and if I am I want to know the right.... What's the reason?

Side note..........anyone going to Z days this year. Never been plan on going

You want to see how much vacuum you make, trust me. On my old big turbo Audi A4 I would see boost fluctuations with weather conditions, the only way to see if you have a leak is by looking at vacuum measurements which shouldn't vary. Also, having a vacuum leak is a huge deal - do you want unfiltered air being sucked into your engine?
