ashbuster Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) hey guys looking at this guide to fit this http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/blitz_dsbc/index.html it says i need 1/4" vacuum caps do i really need them that big ? i thought these pipes here where im to block off were smaller? and where the best place for these in black or purple also anyone know where i can get this t-piece from to tap into my boost gauge vac line? heres a photo of it on or can i use a normal plastic t-piece ? but i think the top part is a different size also what size silicone hose is best to plumb all of this in?

Its just a normal plastic t-piece and you can buy ones with size to accommodate the hose you requirer. Try Ebay for these plastic t-piece and i'm i believe 5mm Vac lines will do the trick.

ashbuster Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 ahh nice i have one of those here i dont have my boost controller yet im waiting for delivery but from the looks of that the top hose (black one) goes inside the top part of the t-piece instead of over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 just use any T piece, plenty on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=vacuum+t+piece&_sacat=0&_odkw=vacuum+end+caps&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313 if your after the end caps, like wise ebay too. (u just usually put a tight fitting screw/nut in the end though http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=vacuum+end+caps&_sacat=See-All-Categories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 What sizer would you recommend for the boost controller fitting 4mm or 6mm ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 What sizer would you recommend for the boost controller fitting 4mm or 6mm ? some of the vacuum pipe i used was 6mm and some i used 4mm. (pipe from turbo to boost controller i used the 6mm) then rest the pipe from the intake manifold to boost controller was 4mm. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silicone-Vacuum-ASH-Hose-Pipe-Silicon-Water-Air-Coolant-Dump-Valve-Radiator-/290640027512?pt=UK_DIY_Materials_Plumbing_MJ&var=&hash=item8960a3ed56#ht_1168wt_862 nice to order plenty of it as its so cheap, and you bet youl need some again on the car or future car again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 is there a need to cap these pipes? when i went to fit mine, i found different people had done different things. some had left the pipes on. some capped the pipes. and some left the pipes on but with filters in them. all this got me so confused that i decided that i didnt really need it after all, and just disconnected it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) thanks guys does it make any difference what size hose we use as long as it fits? i have 3mm and 5mm hoses here Edited February 19, 2012 by ashbuster (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 thanks guys does it make any difference what size hose we use as long as it fits? i have 3mm and 5mm hoses here diameter doesnt matter no, as long as it fits. you want to get the pipes as short as possible though (as if they are too long it can spike) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 nice one and is that guide the same as you fitted yours mate because it looks like theres a few ways of doing it thanks bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) this is the one i used quite easy. your boost controller will need a vacuum source also, which i used from the intake manifold Edited February 21, 2012 by Lude (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 yeah mate thats the t-piece part i was talking about that taps into the boost gauge hose following this guide but looks different to yours http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/blitz_dsbc/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 this is the one i used http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/avc-r/install/diagram.jpg quite easy. your boost controller will need a vacuum source also, which i used from the intake manifold When i fitted mine, i used that picture or diagram too. Its a lot more clearer but whatever helps you i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 doesnt matter now guys theres no purple wire coming from the solenoid and there should be there should be 3 wires (blue/white/purple) which go to the blue/white/purple on the controller and there isnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 doesnt matter now guys theres no purple wire coming from the solenoid and there should be there should be 3 wires (blue/white/purple) which go to the blue/white/purple on the controller and there isnt So I have given a full refund and apologised just to clear that up, brought the item off two members on here, one for the controller and one the solenoid both were untested by me so sold with a full refund guaranteed if not up to the job for whatever reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) yeah thats right its not deans fault dean bought it for his own car but then decided on a ecu instead full refund was given before i sent it back too it will be sent back this morning bud thankyou im not sure what you can do with it mate but it seems the solenoid is missing a wire (purple) it could be for a different controller Edited February 22, 2012 by ashbuster (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
