Yet another MBC install question (PIC INSIDE)

I'm in the process of installing the Buschur Stage 2 kit and Deluxe FMIC.

I was previously running one of my MBC lines to the turbo outlet but with the BR LICP, there's no nipple. Now I'm going to tee into the BOV line and I was wondering if it matters where on the BOV line I tee into.

Does it matter if I tee in near the manifold or should I tee in near the BOV itself?

(See circles in the pic)

tee in to the line going into the BOV that comes from the metal vacuum line on the right side of the valve cover or your bottom circle now that the pic popped up... it works just fine

to expel the gaseous oil vapor out the motor. Same thing a catch can does but it just vents it into engine bay istead of into a collection can. This stuff ends up in your intake trac and intercooler pipes and sludges evrything up.

If you tap into the BOV line at all, you will be losing some of the signal going to the BOV top port. This reference signal is used to keep the BOV closed during high boost WOT runs. This could cause the BOV to open up and leak air due to this. I would suggest having a fitting added to the Intercooler piping so that you can hook the MBC up without tapping into the BOV line. My $.02.

Ha! I guess that's one way of explaining what that little filter does I've actually got a catch can on the way... It's a K&N breather filter and it's necessary because the BR MAF pipe doesn't have an inlet for the stock hose coming off the valve cover.

I'm going to call Pruven and see if they can fit a nipple onto the new LICP, because the consensus does seem to be that's the best place for it.
