I have the stock BPV. Is it still a good idea to use the brake booster line as for of vacuum for the stock BPV. I know many people with BOV do this but I don't know of anyone with a stock BPV. Thanks.

You can... it might not give you huge results, but it won't hurt anything to try it. Give your wastegate a dedicated line.

what size Y do I need? 3/8" x 3/8" x 3/16"? The brake booster line looks bigger than that!! Does 3/8" fit snug or lose?

3/8 fits pretty snug, wouldnt hurt to use some miniclamps or ties

it couldnt hurt, especially now your wastegate line is now dedicated. Which in my opinion is the way to do it.

Yes 3/8 is the right size. There is like a cover on the brake booster line that you have to cut through before you get to the actual hose.

Thanks. I already looked at that. I just wanted to verify.

I am still confused about where to cut the line. I can feel the check valve. Towards what size of the check valve do I need to cut? drivers side or passenger side?

Well, I did this last night. The connector from Autozone works good, but I also used some hose clamps for the fat line and zip ties for the BPV line. I went for a test drive. I did not notice any difference, but I line having a designated line for the wasteline. Things look a lil cleaner under the hood now.

505zoom,
I've seen you pictures. Is it safe to have some many things taooing into the brake booster line?
