I'm about to start installing a turbo kit this weekend and was wondering what purpose these lines serve.

Need to know if i have to tee off this line for my BOV or if i can just feed it directly to the BOV and not have it hooked up to the car at all. I've had it off before and didn't notice anything, so just wondering what it does exactly.

Thanks in advance.

lol yeah it's a vacuum line, but i think it's just to add pressure to the brake system, I just tee'd off of it anyway so harm done

nice, what turbo? how much boost?

Well i reversed the polarity on my battery like a dumbass and blew my main block fuse which i had to order since auto parts stores around here are total garbage. I did manage to jerry rig it so i did get the car on and engine running, everything is looking/sounding perfect, wired in all my gauges and boost controller, now just gotta put the sub frame back in, swap fuel pumps and injectors and tune it.

Prl stage 2 5862 ball bearing.. Yea i couldnt do the clutch and fly wheel.. Too much .. But i did everything else.. It sounded horrible when i first started it up because the new fuel pump and injectors.. But a quick tune did it right..

Im having problems with the rpms right now.. It was stalling the other night.. But i think thats because of a puddle i hit.. And i hear i vibration when im going about 50 in 5th.. I think they did a bad job when they installed it..Other then that i love driving it..

yeah i'm getting that as well... i also noticed i blew my audio amp (got one on order) when i reversed the polarity on my battery, but i'm also getting Power Steering errors but it seems to be driving find. I'm driving without passing 2500 rpms because i have to wait on my 4bar sensor to get here before i can throw the injectors in and get it tuned

i'm hoping the power steering didn't get ****** up from the battery thing
