do a search for brake booster, there is one thread that shows what the part number is from Autozone...(the tee's that have 2 sides for the booster and the third for a 3/16 in vacuum line.)

3/8" hose barb fittings work in the brake booster line.

The brake booster line is a very strong vacuum source, and is good for a BOV or boost controller.

when i got my FMIC for my speed nick from wagner motorsports told me to just use the same line that my wastegate is on..

your stock is on the wastegate and that line is almost inadequate for the stock bpv, its gonna be worse with an upgraded bov, your better off using a dedicated source.

Make sure you hose clamp the tee down, and to feel for the check valve...
Standing in front of the car, tap the line on the LEFT side of the valve.

i did search and i found a thread that had a few pics, but the pics were confusing because he used the brake booster line for his gauge, bpv, and bov all in one. i just wanted some clarification.
