BOV Vacuum
I'm hooking up the bov. I know one vacuum port at IM that I could use but I already have 2 t connectors on it. Basically, where else is a good spot for the vacuum to bov?

Can I use one of the tb port?

I heard that it's not good since I already have 2 "t" connectors.

Get a cheap vac. block; they clean up the tangled mess of vac. line running all over.

block off the bov vacuum?

I have hooked up everything but the bov is leaking like crazy while idling. I have changed the bov but it's doing the same thing. What could be wrong.
