You are one of the lucky ones . Still .... no-one on here uses the EMU as it is inferior to reflashing the stock ECU . So you would be lucky to find a decent map here.

^ Smart idea... I still think its easier to run a line up to Pre-TB somewhere (tee into jet air line) and account for all the pressure drops through the IC and piping.

And hey! Aren't you parting that thing out??

Thanks! And I am actually. I think this is a better spot for boost control and flow although it would result in maybe a bit less of a psi. I would actually use the other bolt for the anti wet port line - a hot jet of air would be great for fuel economy!

That is a boost leak waiting to happen IMO. And I have been there with the scavenge pump due to my old turbo setup positioning the drain in an a less than ideal position, it is not worth the hassle, with the traditional Greddy setup using the T618Z a scavenge pump is not needed at all.

I just don't think the washers will seal and prevent a leak at full boost. I could be wrong but installing a proper hose barb on the compressor discharge pipe is easy, it's best not to over complicate things.

The washer has an inner rubber seal - this is how audi does it without a rubber seal on their OEM turbos and they run 14 psi from the factory.

If anything, this should hold better!

With the same arguement the hose can pop off!

I think this is a much better alternative to drilling and welding.

Better for flow, hose can be made much shorter and more reliable.

Dare I say: this is what greddy could have done.

The hose candy hose I use will break before it blows off but even so I add a zip tie for extra measure. But yeah lot's of ways to do it.
