Hey guys so I have an eBay BOV temp since I can't afford the Tial yet and it came with my FMIC it actually works fairly well no flutter or anything so for the moment it will do. When I naught the car it had an old school SSQ but I don't even know if it was real seemed cheap. There was a vacuum hose running off of the back of it to a boost gauge in the car. Now that I have the new BOV I tried each one of the two stems on the BOV for lines to attach to and neither work! I'm so confused and getting really frustrated at this point please help me out!

BOV to a boost gauge shouldn't be a reading on the boost gauge. Not sure what's going on there.

Id just run it to the intake mani like it's supposed be. If it has a second nipple (on the bottom) it should go to charge piping.

I found a thread on here with everyone saying to T-off the FPR line. Yay or nay?

Yeah that's pretty standard procedure.
