Hi all,

Just to let u guys know that i did some experimentation with where to connect the vacuum line from the top of the blow off valve to the intake manifold etc. I have read in some instruciton forums etc that connecting the vacuum line to the throttle body will provide vacuum when the throttle is closed.... i did not have any success with this , as the valve would only activate when i eased off the throttle slowly, not when i took my foot straight off.

I have since split the line running to the wastegate, and connected the blow off valve through there (not sure if mine is a standard vacuum hose adaptor, however it is located to the bottom right of the throttle body on the manifold, if u were looking the same way as the flow path).

It seems to work fine, with no boost spikes or anything from the wastegate sharing its vacuum source.

Any comments, would be appreciated... aka, have i just created a time bomb :OP

i only just hooked my BOV up and it was through the basic knowledge that i had...and believe me its basic. i seem to have a whole lot more hoses than everyone else. but its stil workin fine. i think it feels like it doesnt hit full boost til 4Gs instead of 3Gs as it always did when it wasnt hooked up tho. i took a few pics here they are. most ppl have their BOV's closer to the throttle body than i do. has anyone else hooked it up similar to this?? or am i a d1ckhead. :bonk:

P.S. im not too good with a digi camera and shrinking the pics to fit so sorry if they are crap.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
