Edm,
So after going thru my engine bay and removing anything I don't really need, I'm left with just sorting out the vac lines, I made this pic to illustrate my plan and just wanted some input on if anythings wrong:

I've read, run a straight line from manifold to BOV, so I'm ok there, my main concern is: can I tee off the line from manifold to fuel reg, to run my boost gauge, but also tee off that line again to supply a source in the cabin from the greedy boost controller? The old set up used to have everything tee'd under the hood, so this will allow me to keep it cleaner if it's not an issue to tee that far away..

thanks guy's :)
 
If you already have the boost controller in between the compressor housing nipple and the wastegate, why would you want to tee into the line in the cabin? Do EBC's need a second source line or something?

You're good running the boost gauge off the FPR solenoid line, and you're definitely on the right track for having the BOV on it's own line.
 
Teeing the boost controller off the boost gauge line inside the car makes no sense to me. Why not just keep the boost controller in the engine bay and doing it like how you have it in the illustration?

Also, what kind of boost controller do you have to begin with?
 
It a greddy profec B spec 2. It needs to read the boost at the contol unit, and then the solenoid is mounted in the bay, with only wires run to it from the controller unit in the cabin..

I was just wondering if there would be some sort of delay to it (or slightly inaccurate) by tee'ing it off for the boost gauge and then tee'd off again from there to go to the controller..

As of now I don't have anything hooked up, I'm still waiting on some parts and then will finish off the lines. I've removed all my evap and emissions stuff, ac's gone, etc.. So cutting down a lot of clutter..
