Not sure how many Awgy has, but below is a list of mine.

1. boost/vacuum gauge & megasquirt MAP sensor (t'd off in the car)
2. bov
3. carbon canister
4. cam cover (this one just vents to atmosphere)
5. fuel pressure regulator

I believe that's all I have... so a 4 port would do you. Or a 5 port if you wanted to run the MS and boost gauge separately. That is assuming you're going to run the squirt.

Here is a pic that shows what I got. Again not the best set up but works great for now.

I'm going to try to plumb the ICV into the intake like you have done and see if I can get my ICV working. I had it with a breather filter on the end but that hasn't panned out yet.

Thanks guys, that's exactly what I needed.
I'm not running megasquirt yet, just going with OEM ecu and light boost, about 6psi at most.

I thought the wastegate vacuum came from the turbo? basically I know I have pretty much three options to feed the vacuum to the wastegate but isn't the pressure from the turbo the most reliable? That's what I read in Maximum boost:)
Also, what do you call the carbon canister? the cone that plugs on the turbine side of the turbo?

Thanks again, I'm getting close to this build, really close

I just capped the vacuum line on the turbo. Some turbos dont have this vacuum support.

The carbon canister is also called charcol canister.

The red circle is the carbon canister and the green circle is the line to tee into.

Ok, thanks.
I'll have to check if my car has that here in Europe, I don't recall if it does or not.
I'm getting there, I'll post some pics once the car is running with the turbo installed

Hey mate,
Just wondering if you have dyno'd your car yet.
Very interested to know what numbers your putting out with this set up.
Congrats on an awesome build too

Hey Awgy, Yet I have a few questions for you if you don't mind

How did you hook up your RRFPR? did you delete the oem FPR? I'm curious how to plug the RRFPR on the fuel line. I bought it used and I'm not sure how to hook it up
Also, where do you get your oil pressure and oil temp info from? I need to plug my guages and I'm not sure where to install the sensors
Thanks man

RRFPR plugs into the fuel return line, just off the fuel rail.

For oil pressure and temp you T off the oil pressure switch light in the engine bay.

naika · « **Reply #54 on:** September 22, 2009, 02:53:10 PM »

thanks for the info but I honestly don't picture where it is in the engine.
Do I need to remove the OEM FPR? and which line is the return line.
ANy pictures of fuel return line and location where to get the oil press and temp from would be helpful
Thanks

AcSchnitzer318is · « **Reply #55 on:** September 22, 2009, 05:43:37 PM »

My thread shows where to get oil pressure/oil feed and temp from, though I don't see why you need oil temp. Coolant temp should be more than sufficient.

Danny707 · « **Reply #56 on:** September 22, 2009, 10:55:08 PM »

don't remove the stock FPR.

The return line is the one on the right I think. unplug both and turn the car over, then you know which one is the feed and which is the return.

naika · « **Reply #57 on:** September 23, 2009, 11:37:02 AM »

Sorry if that sounds stupid, but how does the BEGI affect the fuel supply if it is installed on the return line?

ACschnitzer318is, I just went through your topic and couln't find where you mentioned where you hooked up your oil pressure.
I'm installing an Oil temp because I have an extra spot and I want to make sure it doesn't overheat, engine temps is the OEM in the guage and is only approximate to me

Awgy · « **Reply #58 on:** September 23, 2009, 01:05:53 PM »

RRFPR is installed in the fuel return line after the stock fpr.

RRFPR works by vacuum/boost controlling the return line by closing/restricting it, which raises fuel pressure in the fuel rail.

As for oil temp and pressure, I dont have either. But I do want to run a oil pressure. I would install it where my oil feed is coming from behind the block.

naika · « **Reply #59 on:** September 23, 2009, 02:32:57 PM »

ok thanks
I guess I'm going to have to come up with some adapter to install a pressure sensor and the oil feed then.
I see how the RRFPR works then, as far as tuning it, does it need any adjustments? I have a screw on top of mine, and to be honest more nipples coming out of it than I can figure out hoses for

? it's crazy how little things can make life complicated I guess
