if you look on the back of the intake manifold there is a vacuum port that is capped off, use that. you can also t that line off and use it for your bov and boost guage.

edit: wasnt sure if you had a 165 or 185, the port I mentioned above is on the 185, not sure where you can tap in on a 165.

are you sure you can put the BOV on the rear of the intake manifold since it is after the throttle body(I think). But yes it will work for boost line.

You want the vaccum line for the bov after the tb.....

Stock boost is ~8psi.

Scott, you really need to put car/location in your posts.

Not the BOV itself, but the vacuum source for the BOV must come from somewhere behind the TB.
