Originally posted by Swazo: Just to clarify things since I'll also be using a Greddy Profec B EBC and a Tial 38mm WG, from my understanding atleast... 1) The Profec B head unit AND the side port of the wastegate get a vac line off of the intake manifold. 2) The INPUT for the Profec B gets a vac line that comes from the charge pipe between the IC and turbo. 3) The OUTPUT for the Profec B has a vac line that runs to the top/actuator port of the Tial WG. I've come up with this after checking with TiAl and Greddy. Greddy tech said this is the correct way and I'm waiting to hear back from TiAl. I'm only double checking with them because I have read everywhere else that this is correct, but I don't doubt what War & Stazi are saying either. 2005 Ford F150 SuperCab FX4 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS 1998 CSVT: 354HP/328TQ @ 10 psi, now gone

Unadulterated vacuum/boost to the base of the wastegate, output from the boost controller solenoid to the top (shiny dome) of the wastegate. Just for grins, I turned up the set to 10, then 15, then 20, then 25 to see what would happen to the boost level. Sure enough, the boost went up to 8.8psi at 25. It appears to be working, but I have yet to go over 5k RPMs (only 300 miles on the engine so far). Now I have to adjust the gain if I spike, then get this baby on a dyno to see. Keith at ADC says 12psi is the safe limit for pump gas (93 octane). Any comments? Thoughts?
