I got a newby question here.....Is there a big difference from using the port on the bottom of the turbo vs the one on the back side of the turbo in on the volute housing....I have an after market WGA and a bosch blow off valve mounted just before the T/B (was free given to me by my buddy with a hellion turbo kit on his mustang) and i redid my vac lines like the 1st diagram but i ran the WGA line to the port on the bottom of the turbo becuase it was alot easier since it was the same diameter as the fitting on my WGA and set my wastegate to spike 15 and hold about 14 to 13.5....I still seem to get a lot of PTB though....I thinking becuase I'm usgin that bottom port that sees full boost pressure instead of the one on the back that might only see partial pressure...any opinions on this would be greatly appreicated...thanks Adam

Your gonna get alot more PTB when using an aftermarket WGA over a stock or S2 WGA
This shit is confussing me... I'm 03' S0 with a S2 WGA using a MBC off PCM controlled boost. When I get close to redline (when the boost would normally start to fall off stock) the car starts to sputter in all gears like I'm running out of fuel. But I'm only boosting 15 PSI, whats the deal? It did the same thing when I was on PCM controlled boost but I was spiking 18-19 PSI. I figured I was because I was running to much boost. Should I return it to PCM controlled and spike like 17 and falling or what?

well...returning it to pcm controlled boost isnt gonna change anything if the sputtering is still going to happen...
elaborate a bit more on what is happening...feel? smells?

It just spits and pops almost like itsw hitting the rev limiter and kinda jurky. The funny thing is it stopped doing it for the past 2 days. Its also been raining here off and on for the past week.

aka....do not go wot before 3000 rpms
Yea. And I fixed the problem. It was the spark plugs, they were gapped open to much. Figured that was the problem I was just to lazy to check them

okay....I posted something else earlier about this set up in a separate post
Now I'm guessing this is like an old set up from 05SRTFOUR?
Anyway, considering that nobody has helped me out on what to do with that set up and in my searching happened across this post now....just to confirm....i have a stage 1/stock WGA/Mopar BOV and this is the set up i should use? I know it is clearly marked as for what it is, but I was wondering if the stage 1 was a factor?
