for what motor. i'm t'ing all that stuff too off my fpr. HAHAHA but anyways, i got my vac box, just been too busy to mount it and hook it up. i really need though. regardless, you should consider a vac box and T off the brake booster line instead of the fpr. that's what i'm gonna do

If you t mulitple actuators/sensors off of one source you will adventually dull the response.

For example, My BOV worked quickest (least compressor surge) t-ed alone off of the brake booster.

If your going to T everything off one line make sure its at least a big line, like the brake booster.

i'ma hook the bov to a seperate line but keep the fpr vac line with the fmu and boost gauge. i might have a leak through my boost gauge cause it's a plastic tube that came with it.

brand new autometer and came with the thin white tubing, it seems rather cheap tubing cause it can bend an cause a leak. i hooked the bov to the vac line behind the fpr. still same. i think the problem was a blown valve cover gasket. i see oil around my cover and on the i.m.
