BOV Install question

If I put a BOV on my car and replaced the factory BPV with a treadstone block off plate, all I do is run the vacuum hose from the factory BPV location to the BOV, right? The only other step was to put a T fitting in and run vacuum line to the stock BPV, but without it I don't need to worry about that step, right?

just make sure the bov is located before the maf or you can cause an interm rich condition when throttle is closed. in some cases the engine may stall out, flood, foul out plugs, damage catalytic or hydrolock

OK Vince from Trifecta said I should use the line from the intake manifold instead of the line from the stock BOV after having my MAF relocated and blocking off the stock bpv. Can anyone show me where the vacuum line from the intake manifold is?

I ran the vaccum from the stock BPV to the BOV instead. Ran fine. I used a TTR Block off plate and ZZPs lower pipe with MAF relocate. No Issues. I have since returned back to stock BPV but continue to use the ZZP map relocate lower pipe. I was tired of the BOV Flutter. Stock to your stock BPV or go forge BPV. Ours cars do not need a BOV.
