What is the best vacuum source to run a BOV off of? I have a Greddy RS and seem to get little to no sound out of it and it may be the vacuum source. What are you guys tapping into for your BOV's and hows the sound with that. I am T'd into where my MBC connects to the Intake Mani...

Any help is appreciated...

Good results can be had from tapping your brake booster line. Try searching for it cause there are a couple threads about it. If you do tap into it, be careful of the check vale that is inside the line, you can see the lump if you take the insulating foam off from around it. You must tap the line on the intake manifold side of the check valve.

With that said, I'm willing to wager that the BOV is just not adjusted right, you proabably just need to loosen it.

Weird. Can you verify that it opens at all, like with one of those little hand vacuum pumps? Maybe it's defective (shrug)

is it used/dirty? maybe it needs greasing, oiling or something, not sure what is recommended on those.
