Which MBC install method did you use?
OK, I've done a lot of searching, it appears as though there are two very distinct ways people install a Manual Boost Controller.
I'm installing mine this week, and I'm trying to get a judge of what works best and what is safest for the car.
From what I've read, in general, people that tap the BOV line and cap the turbo nipple are very happy with the result... they claim no taper throughout full RPM scale,etc. etc.
However, I've seen people quoting Al @ DynoFlash saying never ever ever tap the BOV or cap the turbo nipple...
So what's the deal? How'd you do it? Why'd you do it?
Thanks, in advance.

I first tee-d the BOV line but then after reading a post the pointed out that when the desired boost is reached the MBC bleeds off air. That air that is being bled off is also what is used to keep your BOV shut. I switched to the nipple cause I figured that my BOV could use all the help it could get staying shut
