RWD+LSD=Zoom gets THE BOOST

sourcing a 1in aluminum tube is harder than I thought it was going to be

my jet air is on the charge pipe which leaves the jet air nipple that was originally on the intake pipe capped thus I was curious if I could just plumb the recirc there. but I will need a bigger nipple then the jetair nipple.

I would like to touch this thought one more time. If someone were to run an external wastegate and you left the internal in place but never hooked up vacuum, would the internal fail open? How can it fail open if the actuator arm is holding it tightly closed? Am I missing somehting in my thought pattern here?

for anyone in FL that has heard of S&R performance.... two thumbs up for those guys. I stopped in there to inquire about a 1in aluminum tube for the recirc and they were super helpfull. not only did he give me a 3in section of tubing for free he also put a nice beed on it to keep the hose from ever blowing off

What BOV are you Running Zoom? I have had no issues with my SSQV VTA. It only back fires under a very certain situation and I actually have to try and make it backfire to do it at all.

I have an HKS as well, but brand of BOV doesnt make a difference here, the fact that our cars are MAF based is why you should be recirculating your BOV. I am sure that you will find reports of those that claim to run just fine by venting to atmosphere but it shouldnt be done with a MAF based car.

yes you need to do this. The greddy kit was never fixed to resolve this issue. What you are doing here is getting a good boost reading for your wastegate actuator, wheather you are running it up through a boost controller or not.

ok cool, so i would assume that the wastegate will connect to the tap. i was going to add my boost gauge reading to my vfad. please correct me if i'm wrong.

sorry about that, when I said boost gauge I meant controller. i will go edit that post
to answer your question though, you can hook the actuator to the tap if you are not using a boost controller, if you are going to use a boost controller then you run from the tap to the boost controller then from the BC back to the wastegate.
I hope that clears everything up for you

not sure about 1", though it is readily available online if you search, but for future reference I have bought 1/2" and 3/4" OD aluminum tube at Home Depot/Lowe's in the past. In the hardware area there is a metals section with all kinds of odds and ends; angle, square and round tubing, bar/flat stock, etc.
