Most people just plug the vacuum (red line) on the bolt of the boot clamp. If you have a plug, you can put one on the other end to keep dust out.

Just plug the line on the thread of the IC clamp next to the turbo. Don't worry about the turbo side.
Let us know how it does. I can't run with that unpluged because of turbo surge.

ok took it off and i have no surge just a better "power band" so to speak i guess. it works alot better now. but i get over 30 psi and my guage only goes to 30 psi, so should i get a new one that goes to 35 or maybe 60? but i still need my annihilator the check engine light is annoying. should be here tom.

Just for clarification the red line applies pressure to the waste gate actuator, not vacumm.

The bad thing about this is our turbo does not like anything over 25 # boost. They start wearing out after this.

thanks paysonPSD, i probably sound dumb to everyone on here. i dont have my boost go over 10 or 15 much so i dont think it will affect me much just when i have those wanna-be fast cars next to me at a stop light then i show them whats up lol but thanks to all that helped i appreciate it. Chris

The clarification was not directed at you but in general. I thought it was a vacuum line as well until I came to FTE.

I knew that, just a brain fart I guess.
