How To: Kill your turkeys

Has anyone tried this on the hiBoost fmic piping?
I wanted to switch to this set up, but i'm not sure if I can hook up my stock bpv without having to weld on a fitting to my tb pipe. How can I perform this?
Can anybody chimb in please?
 
I don't know about the Hi Boost kit but I'm glad I read this thread.
Thanks 505 Zoom, i was going to sell my HKS SSQV but after dealing with the super turkey with the Ion and Injen, i'm throwing that bad boy on this weekend if possible.
I don't have any fins but anything is better than the ridiculous super turkey and backfire.

Well, I've been studying this thread for this whole week and here are my results.
I welded a nipple similarly and in the same location as he did.
I placed the stock bpv in, facing the correct direction and ran it to my intake.
It started to get late so I tried to T-off the vac from my greddy and ran it to the bpv (instead of tapping in to the bb hose)

... And when I went for a test drive, I stalled horribly. Would tapping into the BB line Fix this? I'm going to try again tomorrow night. I would've taken pics but my digi cam ran out of batteries.
PLEASE HELP!!!
 
there should be an unused vac thing on the top of your intake manifold, should have a rubber nipple on it, on other protege's its used for cruise controll, and I'mpretty sure its unused on the msp, try using that

Visual aid?
 
anybody got a pic of their intake manifold? I dont really have anything to take a picture of :(
but if someone took a picture I could use ye ol mspaint to help thou
 
Do you think the vac, could have that big of a factor in my car stalling?
 
It's 2 am. After connecting the bpv vac to the bb line, the car is stalling less (probably due to the fact that I tightend my bov) but is still stalling. I forgot to post earlier, i've noticed that my exhaust is no backfiring too.
I sitill have all the stock hoses an vac nipple connected to the bpv. I'm going to replace all of them tomorrow and see what happens.
Could it be?:
My bpv is bad?
My MAF is bad?
I'm running out of ideas here.
Edit* I'm going to take more deatailed photos and post them 2morrow, hopefully.
 
is the brake booster line the same internal diameter as the other vac lines?
It looks bigger and i'm not sure my T's will fit it.
 
No its not. Well for me at leastt. I used a universal T. I'll post pics of what it looks like later if you like.
 
Help Kill my semi turkey

Just got back from my mechanics after installing turbohoses smic and hardpies. I still can't completely kill my turkey. Most of the time it's a psssst, but sometimes during hard acceleration the turkey comes back. Any ideas as to how I can fix this problem.

I noticed that my mechanic tee-d the vaccum line nearest to the stock bpv.

Take all that vac hose off, run a new hose from the manifold to the wastegate, and then put 2 T's on the brake booster line for the BOV and BPV. Make sure to kiss your turkey goodbye before you do it, lol... oh and save your stock line and try your best to take it off without cutting it just in case you ever have to go back to stock.
 
Thanks, I will be sure to kiss my turkey before I kill it tomorrow. Btw, is the brake booster line a different size tubing than the other vaccum line?

Yes, 3/8".
 
Will the turkey be present if I just tee the brake booster line for the BOV and keep the stock vac line for the bpv?

Tough to say... it is better to just do the full conversion because then you will have an untapped line for your wastegate. Everything just works better with that setup, so I reccomend that over just doing the one tap for the BOV.
