I am hooking up my knock off Greddy type-s and I am trying to find a good source for the lower nipple. I understand the lower nipple hookup "isn't needed", but I am not entirely fond of how it operates with the lower nipple open. Also, the lower nipple being open can create a small amount of un-metered air being drawn in. I want to test it before i cut a hole in my nice hard piping.
My options are:
- T into wastegate/boost control line
- already tested that the lower nipple will leak into the intake pipe (hence could also be a vaccuum leak if uncapped) when prressurized. If it leaks faster then the line from the compressor housing can fill it, it will cause my wastegate to be delayed opening = boost spike
- T into line running to EGR solenoid
- Is this pre-throttle body?
- will the EGR solenoid functioning mess with the performance of the BOV (i.e. the EGR leaks pressure at times when the BOV would need to see it/ the EGR allows the BOV to pull vacuum through the EGR valve.
- My thought would be to unh0ok the EGR just to see if I like how it operates if there is a consensus that it won't function right t'ed into the line
Thoughts?
