I went to local performance shop and the had an equivalent barbed vacuum hose fitting. It was too tight under the car so I tool the original vacuum filling from the blow off and used it on the wastegate. I took the new one, pictured, and put on the blow off.
BUT.... now my car runs much worse! Instead of a max boost of 7psi, now my guage is reading 18 psi almost instantly... what the hell?
Speaking to a friend of mine, I now think that the new fitting I added on the blow off valve has significantly more flow than the old fitting, due to a straight through design. I replaced the original banjo bolt on the blow off valve that I was using to replace the fallen off banjo bald on the wastegate. I understand that there is a Spring that is stopping me from boosting past 7PSI in my wastegate. So I'm just gonna leave that alone as as. Until I get the original tial jeggs part online somewhere.
