can anyone help me out with where this plug goes? It comes off the horns. I cant find anything close. also, those of you who deleted the washer tank, did you just ziptie up all those connections or what? will I have a light on the dash now telling me the water is low all the time?

most likely your ac condenser pressure sensor. Its a ***** to plug in after everything is back in place. I did the same thing.

yeah...if its not AC, it could be power steering or oil pressure, possibly crank position sensor if you have some length on it...

the wiper fluid light is off by default, so removing the tank keeps it off.

so back on track lol. FINALLY got my wastegate relocation pipes to fit. Had to re weld them 3 F'n times to make it work. What a nightmare. Also got my gauge pod (thanks CUX) and wires ran....turned the key a few times and fuel pressure shot up to 40 psi and has been holding for a few hours...no fuel leaks!

question, with open wastegate dumps, as the spring is compressed with boost, it will crack and start to dump exhaust out of the dump. If I install a boost controller, it will keep the wastegate closed until it reaches the set psi and then will open and dump 100%? Is this correct? I elected not to get a boost controller because I dont want or need to increase boost, but if the above is true, I think I will need one to make the turbos spool faster. What do you think??

You should get a boost controller it will be more accurate then just a spring; Also you can run less or more boost than just the springs.

manual BC is just a spring with a tiny ball as well. The only way to hold the gate shut is to use a solenoid with a programmable duty cycle table.

its no different than the wastegate spring. it just let you run more boost. it doesnt control teh gate below the spring pressure.

you have to get an EBC
