Is My BOV vacuum line connected to the correct place? It never seemed like it worked, i thought it worked at first but it was juss some flutter coming out of the turbo ,

if my vacuum lines are connected correctly, then i will be picking up a LEGIT HKS BOV and installing it, another question, i can just take off my existing Replica SSQV and use the same flange and install the HKS one right?

try to tie into anouther port other than the fuel pressure vacuum line...I use the PCV intake port for the the bov vacuum and ditch the pvc system and upgrade to new valve cover ports and the back of the block for the PCV

its a crappy BOV, because its probably one of those ebay ones,

ima pick up a real HKS BOV today and hopefully it works, if not i will try a different vaccum.

and i ziptied the injector as a temporary fix, it sounded like a subaru before due to misfire, cus that injector was loose

No, not hooked up correctly. You need to be using a different source. The fuel pressure vac line is ESSENTIAL to you getting enough fuel to the engine, it should be dedicated. If that line comes off or breaks you are going insta-lean in boost.

PVC would be fine, it's been a while since I've actually had a PVC on my Dseries, but that IM has two big nipples on the front of it that you could T from.

Either that or you can get yourself a vacuum block.

Jerry, you're fine. Just make sure the hoses on the T-Fitting doesn't come off. Your vacuum source will work, but there are better ones. It is hooked up correctly, but you could have chosen a better vacuum source. If it works, don't change it.

Should have hit me up, sounds good! If its working, why do you want to relocate it? You aren't boosting much, are you?
