Default Vacuum source for BOV????

Just wondering if the nipple at the throttle body that activated the charcoal canister by vacuum is a good place to connect the BOV to. This is on a 90 Civic Si D16A6. Thanks for any and all replies.

I swear by putting the BOV off the brake booster. Bigger most acurate vac source. And makes the BOV loud as ----. ;P

man, i saw this thing the other day, it was a vaccum source outlet basically. you plug it into a vaccum source, and it had like six holes to tap in to. it looked awesome and you don't have to worry about t'ing everting and looking all messy. i should have saved the link, but i think it was made by "golden eagle" or some ---- like that.

Yeah. You can also go into a shop in the airtool section. And buy the same thing for $3. Then you tap your fittings in.
