from a coupel sites
he smaller nipple may also be left unconnected. The BOV will operate slower and more quietly. I did not test this mode.
The GReddy valve has two fittings for small vacuum lines on it. The top fitting is for the same hose that went to the original stock bypass valve, the hose that goes to the intake manifold. The lower fitting is normally left open. It is a vent for the lower chamber of the valve.
the small angled nipple allows air pressure to equalize in a (relatively) confined space inside the valve body used by the internal diaphragm; it should be left open and not capped or connected to anything
help any?

I had mine...along with a few people who told me...connected to a pre-intake vacuum source. I just put a fitting in the charge pipe a few inches away on the bottom from the bov and mine worked flawless

sounds like there saying if you hook the bottom to the wastegate it releases quicker and louder???????

i think this guy had the best advice

^ wrong.
You do not run a vaccuum source to your wastegate... You can to the top if you want the gurgle, but you'll get boost creep etc... Run as SHORT a hose as u can to your wastegate... pressure only (pre throttle body)

Your external wastegate has TWO ports (it should at least) Your WASTEGATE has a hole on top, and a hole on the bottom w/ banjo bolts/nipples.

Your bov also has two nipples... a top and a bottom...

This is my recomended setup:
From a boost source only (should have a nipple on the compressor side of your turbo) run a hose from your compressor to the bottom of your wastegate.
Now... the top of your wastegate is always sealed... so that when it opens from boost pressure in the bottom @ full boost, the top becomes compressed... hence pressure inside... run a hose from the top of your wastegate to the bottom nipple of the blow off valve.

Now, from a VACCUUM source on the manifold, run a hose to the TOP of your BOV.


If you want, you could instead run a vaccuum source to the top of your wastegate, if you want that gurgle of open dump tube at idle, but i think it sounds nasty.

some more info:

guy talkin about switching from stock to this one on his dsm: http://herpetology.com/dsm/bov.html

The small hose you removed from the stock BOV must be connected to the larger nipple on the anodized cap (closest to the adjustment screw.)
(Note: This connects to the intake after the throttle butterfly and will pull vacuum when the throttle is closed)

The smaller nipple on the cast aluminum body of the BOV may be spliced into the turbo outlet pipe or into the line between the turbo and wastgate actuator. Use the T-connector supplied. This connects to pressure even when the other line has vacuum. This will activate the BOV faster by applying pressure under the valve seat.

The smaller nipple may also be left unconnected. The BOV will operate slower and more quietly. I did not test this mode.

Replace the air return tube so metered air may be restored to the turbo intake. I had some trouble with fitment so I added some tape to the connection between BOV/tube. I also pulled up the neoprene hose cover that was found lower on that hose, so it covers and reinforces the return air connection.
Some may allow the BOV to dump into the engine bay to increase the sound but there are reports of air/fuel ratio problems with that approach.

I find the sound is certainly loud enough with the return hose connected.

The adjustment screw may be tuned for a harder or softer operation if both hoses are employed. There is nothing to adjust if you do not use the second turbo pressure line.
