Mini cooper S wastegate vacuum lines

Video is CONFUSING AF, but atleast ya apologized...

Am I the only one that it makes no sense that "Vac Out" goes to the pump and not the wastegate? Seems backwards from every other turbo setup but, this is the correct way to set it up on the n14 S's

Great Video! Thank you, super helpful.

Also, to clear up the three sensors you mentioned in this video. The sensor immidiatly after the intake filter box is a MAF (Mass Air Flow Sensor). The sensor that plugs into the intake manifold is the MAP (Mass Air Pressure) sensor. The sensor on the tube between the intercool and manifold is the tempurature sensor.

Thank you this video was very helpful, I am replacing my vacuum lines this week

Thx, I was wondering where the hell the wastegate was...

Have you eliminated the vacuum box at all and just ran the vacuum line to the solenoid like an actual traditional turbo setup?
My stupid hoses keep popping off on highways going upgrade 🗻
Reason I ask is because im under the assumption that that reservoir is there because the vaccume pump pulls more inhg that what a car can do itself and that box brings it to a balance. Its so fucking stupied that there’s no nipple at the ends of the barbs on the vaccume resivor so the stupied hose doesn’t come off and so you can put a zip tie or hose clamp on the stupied thing.
But know that I think of it Evan more it has dot airline shoved into a 2 inch hose that gos to the Resivor so the nipple grabs probably wouldn’t do anything anyways.
Idfk mannn jbweld around dot
airline fittings to the box and solenoid to just run hard lined I think
Because every barb that the vaccume lines run too are different fucking sizes bro like a 2 year old designed this shit so Evan running real rubber vacuum lines instead of that NOODLE SHIT wouldn’t work just because of that

I've been looking everywhere for this thank you so much!!

Thanks so much brother this is exactly what I need to put back the vacuum lines.

Thanks bro.

Thank you so much for this video. I am basically rebuilding my engine right now, because it decided to blow up my turbo, not the engine, and I remove the exhaust manifold, and there was this tube, I didn't know where it went, and I watch this video, and you help me out, find where I went, so thank you very much for not giving me a panic attack.

Thanks for doing this video, helped me a lot. It was exactly what I needed

HELLO, good information thanks. How do you like the MAMBA turbo? Are you tuned for it and if so what's your HP?

Great vid n alot of help. Thank you

Good clear photography and well defined descriptions. A must see for r56 owners

This is gold !! Thank you very much ! I love the zip ties to secure those lines . I'll do that on my R56 n18 tomorrow

could you tell me if it makes a difference if the main vacuum line and the one to the actuator get swapped around.. Is this simply a vacuum chamber that they plug into

Exactly what I was stuck on. Thank you. And I somehow how one extra nut; one extra 10 bolt and an 8 bolt. Now the fun part of figuring were those belong

What's your take on that Mamba turbo upgrade? Yay/Nay?

Thanks man helpful video 👍

How did it do? Did the motor stay in one piece?
