That pipe will alway see vacuum. The harder you run the car, the harder it sucks.
Look at how stock turbo cars run their PCV.... it goes to the air filter pipe.

Re:My junkyard turbo install
you said you wanted vacuum, which is only present behind the tb, try tapping into your charge/intake pipe for your bov and see what happens...nothing ...i always just unhooked the pcv system, but if you want vacuum like you said for yours, find another source. There might be a tiny amount of negative pressure right there from the air rushing by into the turbo, but if youre really looking for a "vacuum" source, thats not it

...In a NA car, whenever the TB is open, the intake pipe is seeing vaccum. Hook up a vac/boost gauge to the inlet on a NA car's intake pipe and see for yourself.
Whenever the TB is open, the intake is seeing the same vacuum as the IM is.
Now let's think about turbo cars. The charge piping sees the same boost/vacuum as the IM does when the TB is open.
The air filter intake sees vacuum, always.
When the TB is closed, that's another story. You're example of BOV doesn't really relate, because the BOV only opens when the TB closes after boosting(when the IM sees AP right after boost)
Use the waste gate as an example: lots of people hook their wastegates up to their charge pipes(including me). The intake piping sees the same boost as the IM does.
Dude, take off your air filter and hold your hand on the intake pipe. Now tell me it's not seeing vacuum.
Or just look under the hood of a porsche 911tt, 300zx, WRX, pretty much any stock turbo car, and see how their PCV system is run.
btw thanks for the spell check. I always forget, 2 C's or 2 U's. Wierd word.

I can't remember how much it all cost. More than what Stealthmode sells his kits for. If I had to do it again, I'd just buy his kit.

If you saw my car, you wouldn't want it. All the clear is peeled off the hood. Lots of dents. I got a little loose with it, and put it in a ditch. It's ugly.
