bov vaccum

[fastestdsm]

so is it ok to t the bov vaccum t that goes into the manifold? Many people recommend not to tap into the manifold/bov vaccum line, but if I dont tap that line where to I tap my boost gauge into? people say use the wastegate actuator or the ic vac nipple for the boost gauge, but if I tap into any of those two, my gauge will only read boost and no vac, is it ok to tap into the bov line?

Are you talking about tapping for a gauge or for a manual boost controller?

For a guage, you should be using the vacuum line between the FPS and the intake manifold. That will give you both boost and vacuum readings.

For an MBC, use the nipple of the compressor housing or lower intercooler pipe for a boost source, with the outlet hose going straight to the wastegate actuator.

The BOV line should have nothing sourced from it, as it relies on an accurate vacuum signal to operate properly.

which line is that? do you have a diagrm perhaps?
I tapped it to the bov but never had any issues with the bov but If I could run the bov line straight through the manifold I would but I dont know where to get vaccum

This link may help you locate the fuel pressure solenoid (FPS): http://members.shaw.ca/dsm.1000q/Engineprimer/2G/solenoids.htm

This solenoid has two vacuum lines that connect to it: one runs to the intake manifold while the other runs to the fuel pressure regulator. Just make sure you tap into the line running to your intake manifold when you connect your boost gauge. Hope this helps you!

Zippyshoe is correct. In the link he provided, you can actually see the white plastic tee used for a boost gauge. It will show both boost and vacuum.
