Early Y Pipe Question.
Where I can drill and tap in the Y pipe to put the fitting for the MAP hose: in the part close to the clamp for the turbo or in the cast pipe that goes to the hot side pipe?. or it doesnt matter?.
thanks in advance.

No problem, thanks a lot. And how did you block the original fitting of the hose? because IIRC its in the intake plennum, righ?

i cut that junk off and welded the holes up and welded a fitting on the hot side.
that cast al dosnt like to tap and hold theads real well.
i had the bolt in the end of the hose for a while too but kept blowing it off.....

As for the original spot, I did what TJ did for a while then I found a plug/cap to go over it with a hose clamp.
Good Luck

Ok, I see. thanks again.
Oh, that pics is what a was looking for, questions: did you have any troubles with taping the cast? Nope, It drilled and tapped great. and it was a 1/8 or 1/4" pipe thread fitting? I belive it is 1/4" but I just picked up the fitting that went into the hoces for the map sensor and then drilled itand tapped it to that sive but I am pretty sure it is 1/4" did you use some tape or liquid to seal that threads?. Umm its been a while but I belive I used lock tight in the threads Barely I can see the original spot with the hose there, right? Yes I think it is the hose at that time do you have a pic of the plug/cap? NO I do not. My camera broke so I dont know when I can get one for you. The hardware store shold have something the cap th end off.and finally where did you buy the black boots from the Y pipe to the plennums? At Intakehoses.com, they are 2 1/2" to 2" I belive. Tehy are a little too long so you will have to trim them down some to fit. about 1/2" on both sides of each boot. The correct size would be 2 3/8" to 2" but the 2 1/2" works fine and I have had no problems yet
