Default BOV placement?

i was reading the FAQ and one of them said to get a better responce for the bov you should tap the charge pipe and run the vacuum source from there. is that a good idea?

you would want it tapped from the intake manifold because when u let off the gas, thats the first place that will experience vacuum and let the gases escape out the bov/.

dude your ------ blind

1 look at your car
2 open the hood + look at the thing your intake connects to (not the filter)
3 look at all of the lines tapped into it
4 put a t in one of those
