Changed out the turbo to t3t4 and added a tc intercooler trying to figure out which tube go where. I'm within an hours of getting this beast off jack stands and would love to make the UFO autocross this weekend so I can pretend I'm in Sturgis. I know one is to the waste gate actuater does one of the other attach to the intercooler and there is another I think. I know others on the forum have this combo and must have a solution. thanks!

The other went on a nipple at the inlet of the original turbo at the same place where the VC breather connects.

Unfortunately the turbo has no vacuum line nipples(t3t4) so that left me with the above question where do you draw vacuum?

You can either plumb one in on the inlet of the turbo, kind of like how the stock setup was by drilling and tapping a hole with the compressor cover off. Or you can pick up a MBC for fairly cheap and set your boost that way.

This is what I would suggest. You can spend $40 and not only is it easy to hook it up with an aftermarket turbo, you get quicker boost response which increases torque significantly.
