How to route hose with XFlash and Greddy FMIC
Quick question about the vacuum hose on a car with the XFlash and a Greddy FMIC. The Greddy IC comes with lower piping that eliminates the nipple on the turbo discharge pipe. This means I need to find somewhere else to tap into.
Previous to installing the Greddy FMIC, I had a 3 way T-hose connecting the turbo discharge IC pipe, the actuator, and the stock boost solenoid (SBS). There was also another hose connecting the intake nipple to the SBS. When I got the XFlash, I was told to connect the two lines going to the SBS using the supplied connector, which I did, and to also keep the the brass restrictor in the stock lines.
Now, however, with the Greddy, I had to get rid of the stock lines - the 3 way t-hose no longer exists since the Greddy IC pipe doesn't have a nipple - instead, I have connected the actuator with the supplied connector, and have that line T-ed into the BOV hose line. Is this what I should be doing? Also, does it matter if I no longer have the brass restrictor in the lines?
