Ok so i have recently discovered that my BOV isnt operating as well as it should be because i have low vacuum at the bov, i have it "T'd" into one of my vacuum lines right now but its got very low vacuum by the time it gets to the BOV however if i hook it directly to the intake it works great. I think this is because the line is so small and has too many "T's". So my problem is i dont have an extra vacuum port on the intake and taking it off and drilling a new one isnt an option right now so..... i need to know where a good place to put it is, or if i can tap of a bigger line it would help (like the brake booster) or can i re route some other stuff or block it off to allow a direct line???

Please help me out i need to figure this out tomorrow,
Thanks!!

Use the FPR line and a good size diamater, stiff line with very well sealed fittings.

Well after a lot of head scratching and cursing i figured it out, the vacuum "T" we used was an old one laying around and i guess we didnt look at it good enough before installing it because it was some kind of restrictor fitting and had wide open holes on two ends and a tiny pinhole in the "T" with some sort of fitting that looked like a nitrous jet which caused the pressure to be low at the BOV. All works great now thanks for the help Mark!!!
