oil injector and air bag

my '93 has some issues...

It's a non-sequential stock turbo.

The oil injector vacuum lines aren't hooked up to anything. Is there a definitive answer to where they are suppose to hook up? I've read differing answers. They are T together and plugged. They do have vacuum at idle. Should I connect these to the black turbo elbow? Should this be seing vacuum?

My air bag light flashes 6 times. Sometimes when I'm driving, the light stops flashing. Is this just a loose sensor? I've looked up the code, but that doesn't really mean anything to me if I don't know how to fix it or a probable cause.

Thanks, Thanh

They should see vac at all times. As for the airbag light; I dunno.

Where should the vacuum lines be plugged into? --intake below throttle plates? Turbo elbow? Plug it up?

The only places with vacuum at all times are in front of the turbo inlets. Otherwise they see manifold pressure which when under boost has no vacuum present.

I'll give that source a try.

Anyone on the ABS sensor?

Well, I finally have time to do that vacuum hose to the front of the turbo inlets.

Where is this? I have the stock non-seq. I saw the black elbow next to the turbo and near the wastegate actuator... but the other end leads to the intake cone.

I do have one nipple plugged by the hose for the wastegate actuator (manual boost controller). Would this be the correct area?

Hmm ... how the oil injectors work... I sawed one apart to put an end to this

I connect mine to my intercooler piping so it sees boost...
