Default Can I use this vacuum port?

The pcv port with the white vacuum cap on it. Can I use it for my boost guage or something? I'd rather not just have it capped off.

it is a source of manifold. use it. are you running a vent system or a catch can? why arent you using the pcv system?

I don't know what you mean by vent system. Do you just mean catch cans without a vacuum source? If so yes. Here https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1917722

just have the 2 hoses coming off of the block into tha tanks? there is no where for the pressure to go. this is just my oppinion from the pics, if i saw it in person i could make a better judgement.

but to answer your question, you can use the port as a source of manifold vacuum.

I guess I just take bad pics because there is plenty of room to breath. One hone comes from the block the other come from the valve cover breather.

Thanks for answering the question though .
