Default Intake/Compressor boost sources. Which to W/G, which to BOV

Hey guys, just curious ihow I should be routing my lines. I have 2 available boost sources for my external wastegae and my bov. One source is a large vacuum nipple off the intake manifold, and the other is the nipple on the compressor housing.

Which of those sources should I use for the bov and which for the wastegate/manual boost controller lines

Thanks alot

I would use manifold vacuum for the bov.

Alright, Ill have to get some sort of adapter as the intake manifold barb is 3/8" while the bov is quite a bit smaller

Is the compressor housing even a good spot to get a source from?

bov requires vacuum, I opt for the largest nipple/source.

i like to run the nipple off the turbo for the wastegate, usually cleans up a line running across the engine bay.

You have to run a source after the throttle body for the blow off valve... or it won't work

Compressor housing will work for the wastegate but if you're running off the spring you'll see lower pressure at the intake manifold due to pressure drop
