AEM WMI boost reference question.

[Riley Mayo]

Hey guys, I’m just getting around to installing my AEM meth kit, I’ve got my tank & pump mounted, my wires/hoses ran through my firewall, and will be mounting the controller in the glovebox.

Now, my question, The AEM Controller has a boost reference hose, that connects to the controller & runs to a (boost reference)

I am just curious where this boost reference should be? I assume I will be using the Tee fitting supplied by AEM and tapping into one of my EBCS lines. Just unsure as to which line to use. The EBCS is set up in 3 port mode also. Should I reference the waste-gate actuator line, turbo compressor line, or intake line? Thanks in advance, any & all help is much appreciated. Thanks guys!

Try to put the tee as close to the intake manifold as possible. I tee'd into the line that runs from the manifold to the BPV.

Really?? Okay, I know the line that you are talking about, I just figured it would need to be tee’d on a high boost line (turbo compressor to EBCS for example)

Yup T in between intake manifold and BPV just like @SyntheticAtmosphere said.

The boost line sees the same boost that your MAP sensor is reading and that's what gives you your post readout

Okay perfect! Thanks a lot!

while I’ve got you guys, the green boost safe wire... I am supposed to be connecting that to the negative wire on my EBCS, that’s what I’ve been told, is that correct?

The green line is an output to a failsafe or to a relay that will actuate a device to drop boost.
