BOV vacuum source?

[raman117]

I've seen posts where people buy a "vacuum block" that hangs off the side of the intake for more ports, but are there any other options? I just installed Adam's silicone vac kit, and I was curious if I could put a tee in the vacuum ball line?

No, you must find a vacuum / boost source before any check valves. Anything after a check valve will only provide you with vacuum, and your BOV needs both pressure and vacuum to operate correctly.

You can "T" off of somewhere but it needs to be on the manifold side of any check valve.

Ahh, thank you. That makes sense. I wonder if I could tee of the vacuum line at the back of the intake? I think one side goes to the FPR and the other goes to the MAP sensor? Although now that I think of it, I think I've read on here that it *could* interfere with proper operation? Meh, maybe I should just get a block off ebay.

Contact the member in this thread about getting one. Dunno if he still has free shipping or not...
