And your wastegate.... Give your BOV and Wastegate there own source. Most turbo's have a spot on the turbo that your wastegate gets the source from, otherwise the intake mani will work. You can buy an vacuum block, and run all sources from that. Or unhook your PCV system, i always used that port for my BOV, then on the back i had an emmissions line, i used that for my boost guage, i also used a cruise control line, on another car. And i always had ports on my turbo for the wastegate. I would try not to use the FPR, not sure if it goes lean or rich without a vaccuum source, but i'd try and keep that as reliable as possible.
