   This is probably a dumb question but where is the vacuum line connection on the inlet as will need a feed for my dv and boost guage when I install the turbo I was having a look today and can't seem to see where it is my engine bay is the same as this
   
   This isn't mine but has the same inlet as mine
   
   
   
   Cheers

   look at the servo, follow it back along the bulkhead and to the intake, you can see it in the pic.

   For neatness I removed the bolt from the MAP sensor, drilled through the bottom of the hole into the plenum and made a hollow stud with the threads turned off the top half-inch of it and a nipple on the end so a nut on the stud holds the MAP sensor and the vac/boost pipe goes on to the stud.
   
   You can buy an adapter that goes under the MAP sensor with a longer bolt too.

   Just after some advise here. But When turbocharging the tu engine what needs to be done with the vaccum feed to the brake servo? Will boost pressure not make it work in the oposite way as it works on vaccum?
