Tony- The source is a lot better. Glad you got the DP on.

jrod- The fittings that I got were like 1.50$. I don't think 35$ is a very good deal.

I got the fittings from Autozone. It is a Y-fitting assortment pack made by "Vacu-tite", part #47354. I used 2 of them at 1.49$ each. There are some pics of the package earlier in this thread that were posted by mazdaspeed75.

 

[jrodhotrod]

true, it's more expensive then just some fittings, but I like the idea of everything having it's own vacuum source instead of sharing off of one line, plus it will look good under the hood, just personal preference

Make sure when you tap into it to do it in the middle because on the left side towards the brake booster there is a check valve in there feel around for it . I said feel . lol (outie)

IN OTHEWORDS, TAP THE LINE TO THE LEFT OF THE "FEEL CHECK VALVE" WHICH IS LITERALLY ALMOST THE MIDDLE OF THE ENTIRE BRAKE BOOSTER LINE.

I have a question this might be a stupid question but ill ask it anyway. What if i get rid of the vaccum line to my stock bpv. then use the brake booster line to run to my bpv will my car spike as much?(drunk)

 

[goku4658]

also if you do that, do you put a cap on the old vaccuum line to the stock bpv?

Yeah, or there will be a large vac leak, and your wastegate aint gonna open because it's tee'd off the same line.

Yep, I cut the end of the check valve off... oops, wedged it back in seems to be fine.

What is the best way to cap off unused vac lines? How about the Injen port for the stock bpv? Thanks.

 

[goku4658]

ya i want to cap the original vaccuum line that went to into the stock bpv and tap into the brake booster line for my greddy type s and for my boost guage. I've been wondering on the best way to cap vaccuum lines for awhile now, but have been too embarassed to ask, hehe.

 

[505zoom]

You can get vacuum caps from autozone... they sell a variety pack that has several different sizes. You could also just take out the stock wastegate signal line and T, and then replace it with a straight hose if you want to put your BPV signal on the BB line.

After a long run around . Found a y connerctor at autozone to tap into brake booster line for my hks ssqv bov. Let me tell you this makes a world of difference no turkey at all . Seems to respond 100% better. Still need to tune some its raining hard here. Thought everyone would like to know this. May be a repost. This and all the vacum line sources should be sticky. Thanks 505 zoom and linux racer for answering my questions I appreciate it. Thanks Tony

Glad to hear it all works for you now ... just so you know there are a 100 posts on this already. I wrote a complete how to guide on tapping the BB line with pictures and part numbers for the t connectors.

The how to section is a pain in the ass to find ... how about someone sticky the damn thing already. I cant find it either bro.
