Yes, it's a very slight problem... i'm making my own return line kit, but today i was noticing that i do not have a boost reference line on my cold side pipe due to the fact that i'm running the turbo xs rfl. the flange doesn't have one. so, my solution is to either buy a new adapter that has the reference line (no luck so far) or moving the bov to the hot side pipe underneath the car behind the oil pan and running the stock cold side pipe. problem here, is that i don't have a stocker laying around. can anyone help a fool out with a stocker or have any other suggestions/ideas?

Are you still running stock turbo? I think I still have my stock coldside, I will take a look ans get back to you. If not I am sure someone around the HRC has one... That is if these bastards would ever stop selling their cars.

You can tee off the throttle body where a line is running elsewhere, or you can hook up a boost/vacuum reference block like the Honda guys do because they lack nipples by default.

Still looking around for ya man, Mike needs one eventually as well lol. Why don't you just get a vacuum line t and splice the boost source on the compressor housing of the turbo? It is already there and then just run one of them to your boost controller/wastegate and the other to the little nipple on the FPR? that is how I have mine set up with my big turbo, it should work for you as well.

This... You don't need to use the cold side pipe for a boost reference.

Are we talking about the boost line for a 1 for 1 here? Because if thats the case you can tie into the turbo. Theres two nipples that both see boost on the turbo.. perhaps im confused as to what the issue is...
Call me buddy!

yes, i'm talking the 1:1 for the regulator brandon. i didn't even think about using the turbo housing as a boost reference point. that's why i'm glad that you and forrest chimed in. don't know why i was thinking that it had to go on the cold side piping. maybe it's because i see everyone's teed off there
well using the cold side isnt a bad idea in the aspect that it limits how much pressure is lost should a manual boost controller be involved, but in your case it wouldn't matter cause your still rocking the AGP wastegate and stock turbo.
