Just wondering where the most engine vacuum is created on a Nytro. I got vacuum from the left side nipple on the throttle body...is there a better place that creates more vacuum?
Nytro Vacuum?

More info please?? Are you actuating a BOV?? You are only tapping into one cylinders source there I do believe. You want to tee all three together for strongest signal at idle.

Yes just drawing off one cylinder at the throttle body. Vacuum will go to BOV and turbo.
I talked to a guy who builds a lot of turbo cars and he claimed that hooking vacuum to the compressor housing will make that turbo perform at its optimum capability...this may be true, but may not be the case on a sled?? I don't wouldn't think it would hurt to try...?

I can't see why it would make any difference. I think if anything it might be worse because you would be injecting air from the compressor housing in to the throttle bodies for a split second after the wastegate opened. Unless of course you had the blow off valve in the charge tube, or one in the charge tube and one on the intercooler. The MCX turbo's have BOV's on the turbo, so it would probably be ok with a 16t or 19t. Confused yet? How about just not do it. lol. Or maybe it would be better because you would be injecting air directly from the turbo in to the throttle bodies rather than having all of the charge go through the intercooler! Ok now I'm confused. Try it and let us know how it goes.hahaha

Haha yes I am not sure the theory behind it either...? He made it sound like this may create better throttle response because at an idle is would be drawing air from the compressor housing. Like I said, he builds cars so maybe it is different.
. You sure he wasn't talking wastegate signal?No he asked where we got vacuum on on a sled and he said to tie that as close to the compressor housing as possible...he showed me a rear mount car setup that actually had a vacuum pump because it didn't create enough vacuum clear to the back. Then he mentioned you will need another port that runs to your actuator and guage. Maybe i will call him and ask more questions because obviously no one else has ever heard of this haha.
