Alright guys I installed a BR Street IC and Lower ICP. I noticed that the new lower pipe does not have that nipple that is hooked to the wastegate and the BCS. I tried to just block off the line at first and that obviously that didnt work out!! So my next idea was to unplug the BOV from the metal line it was plugged to, then T off a manifold line from the FPR, then run a Vacuum line from the metal line where the BOV was plugged in to the line that used to be plugged into the LICP. I know its sounds a little confusing but I hope you guys can follow me. Anyway I'm assuming that the FPR doesnt receive full manifold pressure?? I assume this only because I have terrible terrible flutter if im under boost. I ran out of light but i'll be sure to double check my routing tomorrow. Now Im just wondering what you guys are using as a vacuum source??? let me know if anyone can help me out!!

Thanks guys
Cheers!

 

the lower ic pipe isnt supposed to have nipples on it. are you sure youre not looking at the maf intake tube? the lower ic pipe is on the passenger side of the car...

 

Right, the little black tube that WAS hooked directly to the turbo outlet had the nipple on it. The new turbo outlet pipe does not have the nipple, so I'm looking for a new boost source.

Edit: My real question is does the FPR receive full manifold Boost/ Vacuum

 

thats not the turbo outlet....thats the turbo inlet. youre trying to put the licp on the turbo inlet....

The OP is correct, the factory boost outlet pipe also known as the turbo elbow, has a boost reference nipple on it for the factory boost control system. We usually eliminate some of the extra stuff that uses the fitting on the intake manifold and run a line to the boost controller straight from there. If you are going to use a manual boost controller though, don't use the same line T'd to the boost controller and the BOV. The boost controller is actually a controlled leak and should be on it's own line. If T'd into the BOV vacuum reference source you will have an inaccurate vacuum signal to the BOV and it will cause issues.

So whats the options if im not running a boost controller and just running the stock set up? I do have a manual boost controller though, maybe I'll use this as an excuse to install it now....

 

another question I have, I have been reading around and have noticed several people talking about the nipple coming of the turbo. I have looked and looked but cant seem to find anything that looks like a nipple coming of the turbo. Was that only on the Evo 8 or does the 9 have it to?? thanks for the help

 

They are talking about the nipple off the wastegate.

 

I dont think so, check out this thread : How to Install Hallman EVo RX PRO
down in the pictures there is a picture showing the wastegate and a "turbo nipple "

or is that the nipple that used to be on the turbo outlet pipe??

 

The turbo nipple is on the j- pipe.

 

ok thanks for clearing that up for me, any info on my other problem from the first post?

 

Install the Manual Boost controller now, finish FMIC kit install, get tuned, and enjoy the new found power and torque that comes with a finely tuned Evo.

sorry, my AMS licp attaches to the j-pipe with a coupler...it doesnt bolt directly to the turbo so i was confused as to what you were tryin to do.

 

You should get your J-pipe(turbo inlet pipe) along with the BR SS pipe you have and take it to a metal shop... ask them to cut off the nipple on the stock j-pipe and weld it on the BR pipe... bam problem solved, now you can run you MBC from the WG to the j-pipe nipple..

you dont want any Ts in your boost lines...
