Since we are using the Turbo harness and motor I pulled all of the electonics in the engine bay. I have the boost control solonoid, and some other solonoid that are bolted to the passanger shock tower. For boost control I was just going to loop the wastegate to the turbo outlet. I would at some point like the ECU to control boost like it is supposed to though. I will connect the orange hose to vacuum, but you say not on the boost side of things... where will there actually be vacuum once the boost starts? There is a vacuum nipple on the intake manifold that looks like it would work. Is that good enough? I will go take some picture of my actual car tonight and post them. Maybe that will help more. J

Okay, 1.the red hose goes to the intake boot? 2.the blue hose is a vacuum signal that starts and ends where? 3.the orange hose starts and ends where 4. the yellow hoses go to the front and bottom of the boost control solonoid, where each of those go on the engine side? 5. the green hose leads into the windshield wiper "thing", where does the engine side go? PS this is not a pic of my car, I just found it on the net.

I will go ahead and post specifically what I am having problems getting hooked up. Maybe that will help. Carbon canister - there are 4 hoses coming off this canister. Three of them go to the metal hardline coming from the engine. The 4th line has a vacuum switch (tee) coming off of it, it looks like it needs a vacuum signal and then the main hose goes into the intake boot. Is that correct? boost controller - there are 3 lines here, one from the back of the unit, one from the bottom, and one from the front. It looks like the bottom hose goes to the wastegate and front hose goes to the turbo outlet pipe, but where does the one on the back go to? I have a vacuum line coming from my transmission, a line coming from a vacuum solonoid bolted to the top of the engine, the line for the windshield wipers that I dont know where go. Can I just hook all of these to a vacuum source? as you can see a pic would help. J

He guys, just wanted to bump this back up. I could still use some pictures and maybe a diagram or two. Thanks. J

yep, both cars were 89's Body - 1989 GL wagon, 1.8L SPFI, FWD Auto engine donor - 1989 GL turbo wagon, 1.8L MPFI Turbo, AWD Auto. J

The final car will end up as an 89 Gl Turbo FWD Auto. The area I am specifically having problems with is the boost control, EGR, and evap purge solonoid lines. They are all pretty much located on the passanger side shock tower and run into the engine. It seems like I ended up with about a million little plastic tees. J

I am in the process of swapping an EA82T into a GL wagon. The car had a SPFI EA82 in it before but it warped a head. I got a running but wrecked GL turbo at the junkyard for near free. Anyway. I have all of the wireharness swapped over, and the engine ready to set on the crossmember. My problem is the vacuum lines for the EA82. I have all of the parts but I dont know what connects to where. What lines go to what parts and what is tee'd into what. I have the factory service manual and a chiltons book, but the vacuum diagrams are a joke. Can anyone supply me with some photos of their EA82T engine bays, or drawings of what connects to where? I would be really greatful. Thanks in advance. Jeff
