Default Turbo Xs Map sensor install

I was wondering where to hook up the hose side of the turbo xs map sensor? Do I just T- it into a vacuum line? Thanks

Yes but it has to be after the throttle body. Theres a port off of the plenum you can use a T with other lines, or you could tap a new port. I just use a T.

You can put a third or you can use the vacuum source by the throttle body that also feed the brake line booster.

You'll be fine using a third T, it might be easier though and a cleaner install with a 5-way T or one with enough ports on it for everything you might need vacumn/boost lines for.

I think I get what your saying, in which case I would keep it the way your going, ultimately its personal preference, but you'll be fine either.

I have my BPV, map sensor and boost gauge in the plenum. You should be fine.

I decided that I already had my boost line ran into the car so I used that line and then t-ed it in the car since the map sensor wires will be running in the car anyway... Thanks for all your help!!!
