What ?

I mean what ? I read that three times and I’m still not sure what you are doing.

your **BLOW OFF VALVE** Needs to see vacuum, to assist with opening that valve. SO, you need to get a vacuum source from the throttle body. There are a few of them there so you have a few choices.

Your **WASTE GATE ACTUATOR** needs to see pressure to open. you can get that from anywhere on the charge pipes, but I would recomend as close to the turbo as possible.

But from your question this really isn’t something you should attempt on your own. Get someone who actually has a clue what they’re doing to do it for you.[/b]

What you mean prime the turbo!? I got the car with a pistons rings melted, i just did the swap for a new engine, do i need to prime even after the turbo has been used?  
And if yes how do i do that?  
Thank you very much guys for the info!

I have never primed my turbos, they have all been running fine for me. I think this is a matter of preference not necessary.
