J-pipe w/o vaccum line bung, where to hook up the MBC?

[Tsi_User]

I just got a j-pipe from punishment racing to finish up my FMIC setup, but it doesn't have the nipple for the stock vacuum line. Where else can i hook up this end of my MBC?

I'd also like to say I asked in the punishment racing thread about the J-pipe blowout and also emailed them, but haven't gotten an answer from either source..

There are quite a few threads on how you can hook it up but everyone is just going to tell you to make a spot on the J-pipe to hook it up because it is the best and safest way to do it. There was a post yesterday that gave a picture and links too, plus I think its on a tech article.

Here's a thread I started with the exact same question (and even the same j pipe). You can see my solution as well as other's recommendations:

So you T'd the line running to the BOV? hmm, maybe i'll try this, and if it doesn't work i'll tap the j-pipe. Thanks for the all the quick responses guys, it's always appreciated

How about tapping the TB elbow? Theres more material there for the threads to catch

Adding a nipple to the J pipe is easy. I did it and couldn't be happy. I encounted some slight spiking using my BOV line. Now i have no spike and car runs smooth.

When bought my car, the bov was tee'd off. My gauge read 15psi. When I connected the line to the j-pipe, my gauge read 13-14 psi. It seems like tying the vac line in with the bov causes slightly incorrect boost readings.
