Well i'm in proces finishing up installing custom turbo kit on my brothers 96 Probe GT 5 speed
I have installed almost everything except intake manifold and charge pipe (or what ever you guys call pipe that goes from intercooler to TB)

So question is i need connect 4 boost/vaccum hoses to either intake manifold or somewhere on pipe that runs to Throttle body
Those 4 hoses are for

Electrical boost/vaccum gauge
Greddy profec B spec 2 II boost controller
Greddy selenoid for wastegate
MegaSquirt box

Intake have a lot stock vaccum niples that are free now since we took all those stock vaccum selenoids off intake (Before or after Throttle body)
Or should i run new niples off pipe before TB

Inatke is one of those in pics (we had extra one ;))

i think you'd want it in the intake, but i am not sure. if it is before the tb, then wouldn't the vacuum be near zero unless the throttle was open?

*edit* probably the guys at turbomustangs.com could answer your questions better ...

All this must be AFTER the throttle body, or you wont ever read vaccume.....put it into the manifold.
