Im installing the MAP charge pipe and bov kit and it only comes with a t fitting to splice into a vacuum line. Ive seen it done a few different ways in my research. In the line behind the Throttle body and also in the line behind the intake manifold. Is one source better than the other or either one will be fine? Also if these sources arent reliable should I just bite the bullet and pay $50 for the turbosmart adapter http://www.americanmuscle.com/turbosmart-boost-reference-adapter-1516eco.html

I don't know if one is better, but I cut mine behind the intake manifold, and it works fine.

Use the one on top of the intake manifold. It's much easier to access and it'll perform the same as tapping into the line at the back of the manifold.

Yeah thats the one I wanted to use just wasnt sure if they were the same because a lot of the instructions say to use the back one. thanks

Hey there is just did this last night! I went ahead and bought the boost reference adapter to go with the charge pipes and bov. Worked like a dream.... only Issue I have now is under 24psI, the passenger side coupler blows off haha. Gotta figure that out this morning.

I hooked up right behind the throttle body. Too easy
