Turbo gurus if you can give me some advice on how to hide/tuck the vacuum lines coming off the wastgate better. TIA

 

i did thinks like tucks in the past, sure looks cool, but id rather have ease of access to inspect line regularly for damage, ware and tear, etc. my advice is to simply not tuck them they look fine, away from direct heat source and easily accessible for routine maintenance and checks.

if you really want to tuck stuff you could move the selenoid to the firewall behind the intke mani. run the lines back and under the fuel rail and put the stock fuel rail cover on

 

Close the hood and everything is hidden.

Directly from the owners manual:I only "tuck" the wiring in my computers to provide good, cooling air flow and avoid those clear side panels as there's nothing to watch inside there either.

let me guess you were voted class clown in Jr High?

 

Thanks for the advice and I will do something like this in the near future.

 

Where did you get the black heat wrap from?

I went threw the fender with my vacuum


lines but then again my wastegate and manifold set up is different from yours

 

Its is because my turbo manifold is dual scroll so I have to run two wastegates which means more vacuum line.

But you can get black thermal wrap from amazon

 

Why do you insist on posting useless drivel all over the forums? I can't count the number of bad advice and/or way off base posts I see from you on a daily basis. It really is getting old.

 

To the OP:

Consolidating vacuum lines can be done in a couple of ways - depends on how much, time / money / effort you want to output. In either case having them feed back to a vacuum manifold helps reduce long lines and clutter in the engine bay as well.

The one i have that manages oil and vacuum from Ptuning - i dont know if they make it anymore / dont see it on their site anymore.

1) vibrant quick connect fittings and PEEK tubing.

-if you watch some of the speed academy builds they use this stuff and its looks awesome.
-it takes a beating and you wont have to worry about lines deteriorating as fast

MORE LABOR INTENSIVE BUT LOOKS AWESOME
2) building hardlines and using AN adapter fittings at the of then to go out to AN lines.

Fittings like the ones from Vibrant above are great. Low leak rate, easy to make, easy to assemble, easy to replace failed parts, stiff enough to stay where you run them, etc.
