wire length will not have any effect, but there still isnt a great place to put it, plus im not a fan of hacking stock wiring.

in regards to the vac line, with boost control the idea is usually that less is better, since air has to fill the length of hose.

But this thread really shouldnt be tagged as a "how to" since its not really a cohesive set of instructions.

Has anyone in this thread went from a grimmspeed to a manual or vise versa? I showed up to my tuner with a grimmspeed and he didnt seem to excited about it and I ended up using a mbc. I am just curious why he was so oposed to using it?

for high boost applications is it recomended to use both ports on an external wastegate?
and is it okay to t the lines for a twin wastegate setup?

in the diagram on the site they only show them using the lower ports..
but i have a pdf of using both tho that i aquired thru grimspeed.

Just use the side port and leave the top port open.

You can T the two wastegate's together. At least I did on my old DSM with twin 44mm's on GT42R. Worked fine.

for the 3rd port that's just a wasteport that many people don't use? But if you do choose to use it, is that the one that goes to the vac line on an intake tube if you have one?

like


otherwise it makes no difference if you don't run it?
