    Where to put my vacuum line for my compansated pump ?

    I am installing my 12 mm compensated Ip tomorrow and the old one didn't have one, so where do you get your vacuum from ?

    The compensator needs boost pressure not vacuum.

    If you are referring to the A/C Idle up, that comes from a vac operated switch on the firewall, if you dont have that, you'll need one or block the port off

    Depending on your setup you'd be better off drill and tap a new hole in the intake manifold imo. Too many t's coming from the one spot can end up causing you drama's if something gives up the ghost/leaks.
    Leave the waste-gate feed alone, if you really want to tee it off i'd use the boost gauge line assuming they're separate.

    I used my waste gate feed but do agree with old mate above with the boost feed if its close to inlet, etc.
