need pic of vacume lines
I need a pic of engine bay with the manifold vacume line setup. perferably someone with the vacume canister line relocated to the manifold due to having a lower charge pipe with no hookup for it. Pretty sure gm hooked mine all up wrong when i got a new motor and its causeing some weirdness.

Wait. If no line is going to the lower cp just run the lone straight from thr manifold to the bpv or bov snd get rid of the canister and all that crap altogether

This is how my lines are set up right now because when I bought my lower pipe used it had no vacuum fitting. It works fine like that but the bpv seems to open more than normal so I ordered a new fitting for the line. Gonna reroute them like stock once I have a free day.

And the lines on the pid controller need to be routed a certain way or it wont function correctly. If you dont have the boost reference hooked up from the lower cp i would just run the bov off the manifold. That way the whole vac tank and that tee system is completely removed.

k i got 2 lines coming from the vac tank, one goes to manifold at the moment, the other goes into the solanoid. if i wanna remove the tank, what do i plug into the solanoid in its place?
in fact someone just explain where all the lines go with the tank removed

Run the lines exactly like this and you will be fine. He id using the vacuum tank here whereas i was saying not to. Either way will work fine.

I totally bypassed the tank and solonoid today, doesn't work well with the upgraded bpv spring, not enough vacuum to open bpv properly. Guess that's what the tanks for. If I still had stock spring I'd see how that worked, I just put tank back in, believe my solinoid is bad though, it opens the bpv at 10+psi when I'm in higher gear at slower speed. When I bypassed it it didn't do it anymore, so I need new one
