drill a new hole for the hose on the new j-pipe, or tee it off the line going from the manifold to the bov.

o, right on, I never knew where else to tap it.

how come machv sells the buschur for $75 http://www.machv.com/busracupturo.html
when buschur sells it for $25 http://www.buschurracing.com/cgi-bin/ez-catalog/cat_display.cgi?2X376545

or is that a missprint?

Does teeing it off at the bov make it harder to control boost since its not near the turbo?

Teeing off the BOV line makes for just as accurate of boost control as off of the turbo. Most people running a non-stock turbo are using the BOV vac line for boost control. Go for it.

nope as long as your not making some sort or "special" route for the line that goes all over the engine bay then any pressure/vac sorce should work equally well.

What are you calling a "J-pipe"? A J-pipe goes on the output side of a turbo to route the air toward the intercooler. Are you referring to the intake snorkle between the MAF and the turbo intake?

He is refering the the J-pipe. On stock 1G's there is a vac. nipple on the J-pipe and on aftermarket j-pipes's there is no nipple. He was wondering if he had to fab a nipple or get his boost source from somewhere else.

You're not going to get much vacuum out of this.
