Howdy all,

In a turbo car is it ok to hook the vac hose for the brake booster up to the inlet manifold (boosted) or do i need to hook it up to the piping between the air filter and turbo inlet (unboosted)

Cheers

The brake booster actually requires a VACUUM source.
Any appropriate size nipple on the inlet manifold is fine.
As an added feature you might want to fit a one way valve in the hose but some boosters have one fitted at the tank connection already.

I have a 180b booster if this helps.

Should definately have one, if not and the engine backfires etc it can shoot up the line and screw up the booster.
They arent expensive
