boost elbow installation on a 1997 12v
 

wheres it go im guessin on the canister under the turbo where the line is coming out but not sure if it goes there or on the back of the afc? or somewhere completely different.

btw my stock turbo isnt tapped right under the intake of the compressor side like the turbo in the edge boost elbo instructions...

Well i just put it in the spot right ontop of the AFC where the line goes on to the barb fitting.. hope it works ill try it out tomarrow on the way to work see if i get more than the 22 to 23psi i was seeing..

i dont think you can use it i tried but couldnt figure out where to put it i couldnt put it on the afc because there was the line for the wastegate and the line off the manifold so i dont know what to tell you im in the same boat

Ok i put it on the afc where the line goes to the wastegate and it works perfect. i had about 22 psi with out it and im up around 28 29psi now with it so it works there just fine.

didnt you have a second line of the wastegate running to the head?

nope just the one line running under to the under side of the wastegate can goes up throught he middle of the vavle covers and goes directly into the now boost elbo at the afc housing area. I have no other hoses or lines coming off the turbo or the waste gate other than the oil line on top of the turbo.

your rite it goes on the back of the afc,there is a straight brass fitting and u just replace it:U:

hey 12valvetater, did you figure out where the boost fitting goes. i ordered mine with my new plate, and went to look and i have the small hose going to the head off the waste gate like you described. thanks man

Most times we block the line at the back of the afc, and tap the turbo housing as shown in the instructions

can someone post pics of where they put it? the only line i see is comeing from under the turbo in a real hard spot to install the damn elbow :dang:
