Why tap the PCV valve? You really want oil being pulled into it?
Use its own vac source, or share with others vac needs. FPR is good. I use the brake booster vac solely for my wastegate.

i just read somewhere that he tapped the pcv and it stopped fluttering.. but i think it flutters because of the vacuum source...

mine fluttered a little when I had 4 things on the FPR line, then I move the WG and BOV to the brake booster and everything seems much better

its the line coming off of your brake booster, that big round blackthing that your mastercylinder is connected to.

be sure to "t" it between the checkvalve and the manifold. Bad things can happen if you dont.

The little blue block sitting on top of my fuel rail and beside the FPR is my "VACUUM MANIFOLD". It's a 6 port tee for air tools. FPR, boost gauge sensor, and BOV get their vacuum signal from this spot. The AVC-R pressure sensor gets it's vaccum signal from the backside port on the Skunk2 mani. The W/G gets it's vacuum/boost signal from the IC piping. This tee cost me $3.00 !

Try a store that sells air tools. I'm in Japan so I just didy-bopped down to the neighborhood hardware store!
