70 dart swinger slant turbo build and mild restoration
i used an actuator from a china turbo i had laying around. the stock holset actuator is set to around 22-23psi. little much to start out with. the china one is set for 8psi. im also running a manual boost controller. a turn of the knob is good for x amount of boost. i got a fancy one so i have two knobs. one turn of one is good for 1psi the other knob kicks out 5psi per turn. that way i can dial in the exact boost i wanna run.
bov goes as close to the carb as you can get it. it gets its signal from manifold vacuum. as soon as you let off the gas you get vacuum and that opens the bov. i hooked mine to a port on the carb that runs under the butterflies.
here is a pic of my setup. you can see the bov on the left just before the carb hat. the hose going from the actuator to the cold side of the turbo has the boost controller in it.
