Default Is this vac line OK for a bov?

In this picture, the line that goes from the middle of the valve cover to the intake mani, I beleive is for the PCV valve. My question is...would this be a suitable vac line to T for the bov vac source?

I dont see why not.. But I would just "T" into the vacuum lines that you have for your fmu and all that..

That isnt actually my engine bay, just a pic I used for an example. I cant decide whether I should T the vac line for the FPR or the PCV valve (for the vac source for the bov). Any opinions?

Get a vacuum block.. Their really cheap or you can build your own.. Then tap into a large vacuum source like somewhere on the intake manifold or the brake booster line..

i wouldnt use more then one T off the FPR, and if so make it close, not having to run the line all the way across the engine bay...there should be another nipple somewhere on the intake you can use (cant remember) or just get/make a vacume box like others suggested.

Good point.. With long lines and alot of splitting your fpr is going to respond to pressure changes alot slower.. I would just get the vacuum block and call it a day..

my friend t'd most of his vacuum lines off from one another and by the time he got to his wastegate the vacuum pressure was so weak.. i redid it from the brake booster hose.. i would say just get a vacuum manifold..
