boost controller question

[Mike]

When i relocated my battery i took out the vacuum ball and just plugged the vacuum line. I recently bought a Greddy electronic boost controller and was wondering if i could use this vacuum line for the boost controller?

Thanks

I use the AFPR and MAP vacuum source. I am pretty sure that is what the directions say to do as well. I would not use that source, may or may not matter though.

I dont know anything but I would think that since it is all part of the same system it should work....wouldnt it? :dunno: Im gunna have to pay attention to this seeing as I will be putting a boost controler of some type in soon.

Re: boost controller question

depends on what side of a check valve you are on. As TYTILIDIE says above you want this on the AFPR and MAP so they all agree.

I was thinking the same about the check valve but like I said, I know nothing.

What Mike said.

You can easily use the vac line that runs to the AFPR, and use a T fitting to tap into it.

Sounds good- just asking since the vacuum line for the vacuum ball would reach into the cab. Thanks everyone

Re: boost controller question

Why did you remove the vac ball? I just relocated mine under the passenger fender well. My cruise control and HVAC vents wouldn't work very well with out it...

Beyond that, what everyone else is saying is correct. There are one way check valves on that line and that will only allow the boost controller to see vac and not boost. Your best bet is to tap into Map/FPR.

:tup: for a local sy/ty owner!
