At part throttle, this can cause the turbo to spool up when you don't want it. i.e.: slowly letting off the throttle while in boost will cause the turbo to try and blow the throttle blade open to keep up the manifold pressure.

So with the WG connected to the compressor outlet, it shouldnt see vacuum. Well maybe just a little while its lagging, or till it starts building boost.

When you are flat road crusing at light throttle... Is that not technically in vaccum? Cause you arent in boost at like 15% throttle and 15% engine load????

the turbo is driven from the turbine side, not sucked through the compressor side.

The intake would be in vacuum. But everything before the TB such as the cold pipes, intercooler, and compressor exit would be at ambient pressure, or close enough to it..

Mine is sealed right there...you would have to drill out a hole if you want to use that. I use the brake boost fitting on the back since I have hydroboost.

You can tee into the brake booster line, that's what I did on the Z28 when it was procharged.
