You are correct on the Vacuum Manifold. What you do is Cut the Brake booster line AFTER the one-way check valve, so that the valve is in between the vacuum mani and the brake booster. Run the brake booster line into the side of the vacuum mani, then from one of the ports on the mani, connect it to where the brake booster line used to be hooked up. Then, put in as many nipples as you need, and run your lines

so you hook the brake booster line up to one of the nipples on the vac manifold just like you're going to do with the BOV, wastegate, etc.?

^Yes on the oil feed line question
Brake booster line gets plugged into the side of the vac mani, like soo
You can see the big black line feeding into the far side, then the clear hoses coming down off the bottom

RE: Couple questions from Forty's Turbo Kit DIY
Does anyone have a picture of the break booster line being tapped? I've always been confused about where to tap it.
Flip look at our DIY turbo install and it shows where to put the oil pickup. It is right above the oil filter on a d series and off to the side on a b seriesI believe. https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_111723/tm.htm
Oh, and I have a question now. What do you do with your o2 sensors if they don't go into the downpipe?

^ ....i imagine the plug/wire and numbers are from something else and you just used the same picture? lol
So the vac manifold is tapped into the vac on the intake manifold? Atleast thast what it looks like.

First and foremost Forty's DIY was just on how expensive it is to build your own kit and how many tedious things you need aside from all the bigger parts.
1) turbo gets its oil feed from the engine and the oil you use to put in there. you put a t-fitting on the back of the block that replaces your oil pressure sender i believe is what its called, or you can take an oil sandwich and you is to go over where your filter is. then you put your feed line into this mechanism you use.
2) if you search there has been a lot of topics about this and a diagram that has been made
3) you do not need any o2 sensors in your downpipe, but you will need to make an o2 bung so when you goto the tuner's he/she can plug their wideband into the o2 bung to get all your air/fuels, temps, etc. you should not be throwing any CELs as well.
4) boost gauge needs to be hooked up to a vac source. if you dont use a vac mani you will have to use a lot of plastic Ts to connect all your vac sources.
5) yes the internally gated turbos are already set at a psi, normally 7 or 8 psi on any internally gated turbo. you can only raise these boost levels by using a boost controller.

Just a few questions that i've got after reading Tony' "Building a Turbo Kit":
- Where does the turbo get its oil fed from? Where can you tap in? I understand the return line to the pan, but just dont really get the oil-feed line.
- How do you wire in a resistor box for your new DSM-450 injectors?
- Since you have a custom downpipe, do you need any o2 sensors in it? He mentioned using the bung for a wideband and if you're not using a wideband you need to plug it. So you dont need any o2 sensors? And when you chip/tune the ECU, does this take away the CEL that i imagine you get?
- Other than the wastegate and BOV, what other parts need a vaccuum source? And if you dont go the vacuum manifold route, where can you run the vaccuum lines from?
- When buying a turbo with an internal wastegate, is it already set at certain PSI? Like you can buy a turbo with an internal wastegate that is already pre-set to the PSI you want? He mentioned a boost controller cant lower the PSI, so are different turbos rated for different wastegates before you buy them?

RE: Couple questions from Forty's Turbo Kit DIY
There are two ways to do the brake booster thing. You can either cut the line, and put in a vacuum T fitting (check my write up). Or you can do what I did, take a chunk off the end of the brake booster line, and literally use your vacuum manifold as the T fitting
