2G Hose leaking air

[MasterMatt209]

I was doing a boost leak test and figure out that thes three hoses that connect into a T shape are leaking air how should I fix that?

Mini clamps on the ends of the T. Zip ties won't cut it. Also check the T itself for cracks. And btw there shouldn't be anything T'd into the BOV line.

listen to this man. NO T's to the BOV.

I teed off the bov for twenty years....whats the problem?

The T is most likely for the boost controller. I personally have a dedicated line for everything into the intake manifold.

Well I suppose on a super hard spring it wouldn't be too much of an issue but on softer BOV's I know it can pull the BOV open early causing flutter and other issues. I've experienced issues first hand due to the BOV line being T'd. There's a reason the stock BOV has its own line. I thought this was widely known.

In a non flow situation I cant see it. The volume of line that size is so small pressure would be instant. I teed boost controllers off there as I said for 20 years

Some people don't know what they are doing like you and don't know how to make it work. It's an extra precaution to take. Insurance is never bad. If you've done it, more power to you, but some people don't know how to do things right the first time or will make a small error or something and it fails. So its not 100% wrong, just LESS safe. I've seen 2 t's to BOV fail on friends cars. Fixed it so there are no T's and now there is no problem.

Less safe....okay. I will concur. I think youre right its probably a boost controller and it probably has a weep hole. Hell it might even be one of mine.
