Did you guys just tee off an existing vacuum line or is there an actual spot on the manifold where I can use the handy adapters provide and thread it in there? If so where?



Thanks

the t2 makes you "t" it in with something, the blow off valve or the map sensor is good.

i would use a dedicated hose for each vacume source. you can buy 1/8 NPT threaded nipples from places like McMaster-Carr and tap each its own. (boost guage, FPR, bov, WG, map....) i dont know anything about your car or how far along it is from stock, but this is my suguestion if you are needing to *T* something.

so we should not "t" into anything? I have several capped of vacuum nipples that i can use for it, since i don't run anything emissions or omp.

if you needing *t's*, then i say bust out the drill and tap and go right down the manifold making dedicated nipples. i dont think that T'ing will cause any major problems, but why risk it for the 15 minutes of labor it would take. its gonna take you 15 minutes to go to PePBoys to get the help t's...
