I will be installing an intercooler pipe(from trbo to IC) with a monza BOV(basically hks ssqv). Anyways I was going to install the vacuum line using the stock t and couple of inches of stock hose to the stock bov by ataching the vacuum filter that is suplied with the valve. But the question is that there is a hard plastic piece that runs into the line to conect the stock 90 deg elbow that conects to the stock bpv. is that piece removable or will it just break?
vacuum line?? (BOV)

Just remove the elbow and the plastic piece and run the vaccuum line direct to the bpv. Don't forget to clamp it. Oh and don't use stock vaccuum line it sux. Order some silicon line from www.boostcontroller.com I got the 4mm line and i changed alot of my vaccuum lines and I gained 1psi of boost from doing it. Also the stock lines become frail under heat and break after a while where silicon won't.

fyi, some people who have gone with an aftermarket bov have also switched where the vacuum source is. instead, they've tapped into the brake booster line. it's a really strong vacuum source. run a search and i'm sure you'll find the thread.
I just installed an HKS ssqv myself that's why I was wondring.Striker187

jaw307 - hmm....in that case, other people have run a dedicated line to the bov, cause the original bpv is teed off from the wastegate line if i'm not mistaken. they've tapped into some other source for the wastegate.
custommsp - you have any soundclips of the hks with your purple insert? interested to hear how it sounds. i've only heard an ok soundclip of one.

No, cause it's a much stronger source of vacume and dedicated to one source, not split over multiple applications (wastegate, boost gauge etc)
In mist cases it will work better.

good deal. you sounded unsure as to tapping into the brake booster line so i thought i'd give you another alternative.

yeah thats why I made this post, to get feed back and reassurance on what to do. Its been very helpful. but for now just to get it hooked up I think I am going to use the stock t at the wastegate and new hose.
I just wish I had the pipe so I can put it together.

Yeah I have my BOV running off the Brake booster line. Works great...although I still get some compressor surge if I drop the accelerator instead of backing off of it.
Check these out to hear the purple insert HKS:

odd, i don't really hear any difference between the purple insert and the normal triple fin. i thought the purple fin was supposed to get rid of the high pitched whistle?
