bpv vacuum question

**resonant_evil** · 06-17-2008, 09:03 PM

so i have had my intake manifold off for about a week, as i am looking at everything before the install i see the line that goes to the bpv (i marked it) and notice there is a "t". i didnt mark the source. at the time i remember thinking it was obvious. damn, i can't recall were it goes.

i have the "t":

a side - mech boost gauge
b side - bpv
c side - ??????????

i know this is an easy one, but it is the one thing i can't seem to find in my manual or online.

any help appreciated!

Well, the boost gauge if you have one. Other wise just cap the 3rd end off..As long as the gauge and bpv are all on the same line pretty much.

A vaccuum source?

Well, you should have a spare line in the engine bay near the top mount area. I don't quite understand. "what the bpv goes to" You mean the vacume line which also T sects the boost gauge?

**resonant_evil** · 06-17-2008, 09:22 PM

yes, that is the line.

i have the gauge side identified, the bpv side identified, and the third side i am lost at.

Well, it's just a hose so Its a find waldo type deal.

Just get in there with a flash light and find a disconnected rubber hose. There really arn't that many hoses especially that type of rubber, shouldn't be to hard to find.

The "c side" goes into the intake manifold. The connection is right to the side of/under the throttle body on the driver's side.

**tyler_sti** · 06-17-2008, 09:44 PM

I still don't get the problem. lol. Oh well at least you fixed it.

**resonant_evil** · 06-17-2008, 09:51 PM

for some reason i was blind to the intake manifold port. the line is less than a foot long. luckily this limited the search space. still took an hour to find. just tired.

SNAFU

thanks
