straight up, no time to search. flame suit on......sorry for the noob type question. i am still learning as i go! i finally plan to turn the key tomorrow except one thing.......
can i use the PCV line as a vac source for my wastegate. its an external tial 38mm and the pcv hose is a perfect size for the t fitting i have.
thanx.

If you're talking about just using the hose, then as long as it's clean, yes.

If it's still hooked up to the PCV port on the valve cover, then no. It's not a good signal source.

hmm. ok....so i can use the line, but not also the pcv? ah, yea....now thinking....because when the pcv valve opens, it will create a boost leak? correct? so i will use the line and cap the pcv.

I would find a different source. brake booster, Intake manifold, intercooler piping.....Get a different tee and do it properly IMO.

Worst comes to worst, T one of of your other sources. Don't use the pcv line, as stated above. Where did you decide to put your bov source? I'd just use the other vac nipple for the wg. You could use the one to the fpr temporarily if you need to, but I'd chase down a vac manifold or something asap.

Go to McMaster Carr and order a 6 port manifold.
IIRC it has 1/4 NPT inlet and the outlets are 1/8th NPT. I paid like 20 bucks shipped. Then just put fittings on the ones you need and plug the ones you dont. Ill try to find a link to the manifold I bought.

i will look into these ideas. i went with the pcv for a source. it started today and ran, but with a misfire. trying to track it down. i have another thread going about the misfire.

I've been racking my brain trying to remember McMaster Carr for manifolds. Dirt cheap and just as effective, if less esthetic than, the Golden Eagle one. Good quality stuff there.

mine is nice looking just a polished aluminum manifold. The only difference is mine doesnt have golden eagle engraved in it.

nice, they must have revamped. I used to have one on my supra that was ugly as crap. I spent a bunch of time smoothing out casting seams and cleaning it up.
