Boost Controller Connection

[Beeble]

Ok i'm preparing to be n00bish...

I've got a genuine Hybrid FMIC kit installed.

Now as most of you will know, for your EBC to work you need to have one hose plugged into the actuator, and the other hose plugged into positive pressure.

In a stock piping setup this is a "nipple" on the intercooler pipe just after the turbo outlet.

Now, in my Hybrid kit, the intercooler piping doesn't have that nipple to connect to. Most kits that i have seen also have said nipple

Someone else out there must have one - what did you do? the only tubing comes off after the throttle body, which reads vacuum as well - apparently this sometimes screws with the boost controller if it's seeing positive and negative pressure (according to the Turbosmart website for their electronic boost controller).

I can't find any positive pressure tubing before the throttle body.

Do i have to get a nipple welded into the piping??

Can i source the pressure signal from the plenum/manifold safely (eg the vacuum tube to the fuel reg?) - i believe the EBC will still function when hooked up this way, but it more prone to spiking. The length of vacuum tube required is also about 4 times as much thsi way which must contribute to this somewhat.

hope that made sense.

thanks in advance guys and girls....

i wouldnt mind knowing about this too as i will be getting my hybrid kit connected up soon

Does anyone here run their EBC using positive pressure signal from the intake manifold?

anyone??

surely other piping kits have this same "issue"...
