Ok, my Supra is almost 100% back together but I'm not sure where my vaccuum lines go for my boost guage/controller. What's wrong with these pictures?:1zhelp:

not sure if i understand you completly. but you should tee the wastegates, then tee the compressor housings. wastegates go to the left fitting, compressors go to the lower fitting. you need a lot of hose

run your gauge off of a port on your intake manifold. Run vacuum line from each turbo wastegate (two) to a T then send that line to the line on the side. Run two more lines from the housings to another T and send that line to the bottom of the controller.

basically the bottom of the controller is your inlet, the side is the out put to the wastegates. Run the adjustment out so they arent running any more boost, and slowly run the adjustment in to set boost.

ok, look at the pic you have, there is a nipple on the turbo compressor housing, and one on the wastegate for each turbo. now just run a long line from wastegate to wastegate, cut the line put a tee between and run it to the boost controller, and do the same for the compressor housings.

the rears are kinda hard to get to use some long angled needle nose. the are way in the back right against the firewall almost. front nipples are under the the intercooler pipe.

Does anyone have pictures of how they managed to get at the ports for the rear turbo/wastegate? I was trying to hook up my hks evc today and the front is dead easy to get at but the rears I couldn't figure out a decent way to get at them. I bought a set of long needle nose pliers with a bend at the end but I couldn't find a decent way to get at the line. Does anything have to be removed in order to get easier access to them?
