Installed boost gauge and bleed valve, need help!!!

[Atreyu]

Hi, I installed my mechanical boost gauge and am running it off the factory BOV line, is that ok or should I move it somewhere else?? The only reason I ran it there was that was all the T piece would fit.

Also installed a turbosmart bleed valve between the inlet pipe and wastegate and just having it there turned down made the car splutter really bad at high revs.

I have noticed though that on my car the bottom hose on the solenoid has been zip tied to the top hose, the bottom hose is ot connected to anything, Looking at pictures the bottom hose is supposed to hook into the pipe that goes from the inlet to wastegate right??

The bleed valve had been on once before i got the car and it had a T peice in it with small hose that was the same size as the one on the solenoid, if I hook this back up will my car run better?? Will it actually make more boost with the bleed valve fitted as atm it doesnt seem any faster and 2nd gear just dies pretty much, all gears seem slow to respond to throttle!!

I need help! Please!! I have tried searching but cant find what I need to know!! Im sure there are plenty of clued up people online??!! Will buy them a beer at the first club meet I get to!! Pity Im 3 hours from Melb!!

Hook the bleed valve up to the 2 hoses going to the boost solenoid. 1 side goes to your inlet manifold and the other to the wastegate. just leave the solenoid out of the system. Should not need to worry about the t-piece for this.

I hooked my boost gauge up to the factory line which is in the back left corner of the engine bay looking from the front. It is tapped off the intake plenum, I just wacked in a t-piece.

The best place to run the boost guage line from is the line that runs the standard boost guage. It is located in the top drivers side corner of the engine bay. You will see a hose that runs from a little box on the firewall to the rear of the inlet manifold.
