T3 turbo need help
« on: May 03, 2016, 11:06:11 am »
So i got my "new" car a few days ago, a golf 1.6td from 82. And i have been looking into adding some more boost. I have a t3 turbo, but i can't find the vacuum hoses to add a boost controller to. I have been looking all over the internet on how to do it, but i can't figure it out. A little help whould be appreciated.

Well there's no vacuum line at all, so there's the first thing.... The BOOST line however goes from the turbo's compressor to the wastegate, never leaves the turbo. T3 has a rubber hose, K24 has a steel line.
