PCV teeing bad idea?

[Tigerhorns]

I came up with a idea today i want to run it by some people see if what i found out today will actually work. Ok here is the rigged up setup i am running right now I was wondering if i could connect the BOV to the vacum source on the TB where i have heard people install there boost gauge at. Because right now my bov is teed into the pcv valve, and i heard that was not a good idea.

i dont think you should tee anything off the pcv because of the oil vapors that get sucked through there

You don't want your BOV T'd into anything, especially the PCV line. Why don't you have the BOV line going to the port on the intake manifold? That's what it is there for. Are you using a non-turbo intake manifold?

Hope this helps!

Yea i agree the only place to run the bov is to the port on the intake manifold under the wire harness.

^+1. No reason not to have it there.

Well i was told i have a non turbo air intake manifold. The boost gauge i noticed was pluged into some kind of vacum source around the right hand side of the air intake manifold.

I was thinking of letting the PCV valve have its own connection, and connecting the bov into the throttle body one of those little nipples there. I have heard of hooking the boost gauge to it, but i dont know abotu the bov?
