The reason I ask is because I feel (well I actually know) I'm getting real weak signal from the TINY nipple ports off the plenum to my BOVs which I then have to T to split to each one.
I can actually hear residual air pressure being released from the turbo compressor housing and out of the air filters (fender intakes) after I let out of the throttle and after the initial BOV release (at higher boost pressures). I imagine this could affect boost response/control, FPR response, etc. So I'm thinking about picking up something like this and placing a big brass T off the big port on top of the plenum housing. IMO placing the BOVs POST IC is not the most optimal way to go due to the pressure difference before/after the IC, but as many of you know there's not much room to place the BOV between the turbo and IC path...I know, because I tried. That's why I feel like I need a better reference signal to the BOVs and maybe a biga$$ vacuum/boost block may help. Just curious if anyone else has one, how they mounted it, what signal off the plenum they are using, etc. Thanks!!!
Yea it would definitely keep vac/boost lines more organized and help cut down on vac/boost leak sources. I think I'm going to pick one up and throw it in. I'll post some pics as well when I'm down.
yeah ill try and dig some up. i have it neatl tucked away on top of the brace that holds both intake halves together and its black. i used a large source for it from the plenum and from there i used the vacuum block for wastegates, blow off vavles, fuel pressure regulator etc. i had it done with all AN lines this time
