Putting motor back together

I took my turbo off to inspect it, and to clean the oil off of the outside, that was a job. Getting the nuts off the heat shields was tough. Now, I am putting it all back together.

I have the turbo on, the heatshields on, the oil lines on, etc... But I am having trouble remembering two parts. The metal pipe above the compressor housing has 2 outlets. One goes to the BOV, the other goes to what? Does anyone have a picture?

Also, does anyone have a picture of where the small vacuum hose off of the BOV connects to the manifold. I'm pretty sure its the nipple that is on the left side of the BAC.

NOTE: I also removed my ACV and airpump, what are the chances my waterpumps belt will slip off?

Thanks for any help.

Can anyone just look at the pipe and give me a rough idea? I'm kinda in a hurry.

Thanks

Ryan, that goes to the manifold right around ACV bracket (1 1/2" right of it) you removed. Hope it helps.

the chances of the fan clutch slippage is highly probable in the higher rpms. You should buy a dual alternator pulley and it'll be fine.

the other hose from above the turbo goes to the BAC. hose is like 4-6" long

if the ACV is off. both the pressure sensor and BOV vac lines can be "T"ed to a nipple right under the BAC vavle.

Ok, so I have the Bac hose connected to the pipe, now, this pressure sensor and BOV Vac line. I know what nipple they have to go to, and I know where the BOV vac line is... but where is the pressure sensor?

Is there any way you can give me a pic?

Thanks again for any help.

pressure sensor is the black box on your strut tower



here is the hose from the BAC to the turbo Pipe. stock black one cracked so now it's red

underneith is where the nipple is for the BOV and pressure sensor lines. mine also T's off for an aftermarket boost gauge. so you can see 2 "T"s
