Really? How can you get a vaccum source for that?

Re: homemade BOV?
 

i really dont understand the use of a vaccum source on a BOV can someone explain this to me, wont a BOV function wil no vaccum at all? someones gotta explain this to me

Re: homemade BOV?
 

The vaccum pulls the piston up, allowing the excess boost to escape.

i always thought the extra pressure from closing the throttle plate was what opens it, or is it a combination of the both?
