Quick Question

About to install my hallman pro mbc and I know exactly how and where I'm going to install it. I've already put the heavier spring in it. I'm going to run it from the turbo outlet to the mbc to the wastegate.

I plan on using the 2 caps that came with it to cap off the stock boost solenoid under the intake box.

My question is: what do I do with the vacuum line that comes of the intake that goes to the stock boost solenoid?

I read somewhere that someone capped it by putting a screw in it and zip tying it down. Is there any other way of doing this?

Use the stock vac hoses and plug both nipples on the stock BCS with the same hose (basically loop it to itself).

Cap the nipple that comes out of the intake pipe. I'm pretty sure the cap you used on the BCS will fit on the intake nipple.

You can get a rubber plug at autozone to plug it up.

Interesting I never would have thought of that. I'll go outside and check to see if the caps fit on the intake nipple right now.

But basically just use a vacuum hose to connect both nipples from the stock solenoid to each other?
