This topic may have been covered before but i could not find what i needed so please don't tell me to search! anyway my questions are. I have the BOV and my boost gauge going off of the vaccum line that goes from fpr to intake manifold. is that bad? and where can i reroute my BOV too? i heard the break booster line, but that scares me. are there any other reliable sources? my other question is that my Blitz ssdd BOV is not loud and it sounds fluttery. Im running 6 psi with the apexi kit on a 99 sohc civic. ive heard it on other cars and it sounds alot nicer than mine. at first it made no noise, then adjusted the screw and now it makes some noise btu not loud and crisp, clear sounding, its really fluttery and quiet. thanks guys!

 

if the bov is real quiet try loosening it some. USE THE BRAKE BOOSTER LINE!!!! dont run everything off one vacuum source

 

bump

 

i just answered it for you, why wont you use the brake booster?

 

other opinions never hurt anything, and i did adjust the bov numerous times, tighter, looser medium everythwere and its just not what ive heard out of a blitz before. and the brake booster is all fine and dandy but i was curious what other lines i could use as well.

 

other vacuum lines are, the compressor side of the turbo, intake mani, brake booster

 

cruise control? for the gauge?

 

The compressor is not a source of vaccum
This source should be used for the WG only, or capped off.

the brake booster line is a good source however.

yes, i dont have cc so i dint include that. if you know them all just use them, you dont wanna tap them off all 1 source

 

I hooked up my BOV, and Boost guage to the FPR Vacuum line?

Bad Idea?

 

IMO, I don't think you'll have a problem.

I think this is really only a problem once 3+ items are all T'd off a tiny little 3mm vaccum hose.

In my old setup I had the MAP/BOV/boost gauge all running off the IACV with no problems.

well thats what i meant, i guess i should have been more specific. thats where i hook my wastegate to

 

Get GE's Vacuum port

 

I hooked mine to several different vac. sources excluding the brake booster line and it never worked right. So I cut the spring in my blitz dd ss until it worked right.

I think i would try the brake booster line before you do this, I've heard nothing but good from the all mighty brake booster line

 

I got all my devices T'd off the fpr - BOV, Boost gauge, wastegate, on the mani vac source....so far so good

 

ok i got brave and teed the BOV off of the brake booster, HUGE IMPROVEMENT!!!!!! and my boost gauge is mroe accurate now too thats its the only thing running off of the manifold! thanks for all the help guys!!!!!

Get a pump yet? I'm still looking for you.

 

Well i go tmy WG going to my Turbo. Im gonna run my BOV and Boost Guage to the FPR. Where exaclty is the Brake Booster at. I heard good things bout it and never anythign bd yet. If i could find out where it is. mayb ei might try to use that.

 

the brake booster is the biggest vacuum line goin into the intake manifold. it goes to the rear of it. i think this is the easiest way to explain it w/o getting technical. anyone else got something? by the way Ramstein is the shiznit

 

LOL
U in the Air force or something. Anyways on my GSR. the Brake Booster Vaccum line is on the back side under the Manifold. I got my BOV going so another Line and its Fluttering al lcrazy. I feel its not working right at all. My compression surge or whatever u call it.

 

yeah that chatter fade away sound that you hear is compressor surge my pos max rev bov is doing that crap it shouldnt hurt you at low boost only at higher but still it isnt the best thing in the world in time that will leaad to a lot of shaft play

Correct me if Im wrong

 

How can i fix it. What do i have to do to make it work

well with my garbage maxrev tthat is brand new Im gonna grease and lube the **** out of it make sure that there is no dirt or sand in the chamber. Im gonna have my spring cut on the inside not to sure on the blitz but pulling it apart and cleaning it and lubing it couldnt hurt.

 

brake booster is the THICK vacuum line attached to the right of the IM on the firewall. i hope that helps. i recomend ALL bov go to this, and not to FPR line becuase that is not sufficient, and don't run more than 1 thing off of any source! ALSO T the brake booster before the check valve.
