Re:BOV question
 
your charge pipes are considered a vaccuum source, but you can run it other places (i.e. tb), that's what i meant by "if you want", was referring to the location

no, the charge pipes arent going to work for running the nipple to...it has to be behind the throttle body so it will open the bov when you let off

lemme see if we are talking about the same thing....the vacuum nipple, not the outlet on the bov

Thanks for the help guys, I think my best bet would be to take a step back and look at some installation manuals for BOV's to figure out what I am doing. I was under the impression that the BOV opens in response to the shift in positive pressure once the TB closed and the turbo was still compressing the charge, but from what is being posted it looks like I am wrong.

it opens when the throttle closes and the vacuum from behind the plate opens the bov
