September 7, 200619 yr Hey all, jus wondered if anyone could give me some helpful hints on where the vacum line is on turbo EA82s are? I tried looking in my Haynes but that thing is trashed and right now all my lines look the same to me Pics would be GREAT as all i need to do is hook up my vacum line to run to my boost gauge I just installed. Any help much appreciated.
September 7, 200619 yr There's plenty of vacuum lines you can use for this. If yours is 4WD with push button, you have vacuum solenoids that actuate the 4WD. You splice in before the vacuum solenoids for a vacuum. Just splice in one of the hoses that goes to the intake mani, and not to the transmission. Also, on the p/s strut tower, there's one or two sensors there with vacuum lines. Those can be used to.
September 7, 200619 yr Look in the passenger side corner of your engine bay, close to the windshield. Locate a small plasic jug looking thing... should have one vacuum line leading to it from the motor, and another line that leads to a hard plastic line that runs under the cowl. Take the line that leads to the motor, cut it, install a T and run your boost gauge off of that. That line is a direct line off the intake manifold and will give you a pretty accurate reading for your gauge. If you need more help, bring your car over and your gauge and come pick up the exhaust I have in my garage for you... i can give you a better hand in person. -Brian
