Vacuum test help
Hello! I'm trying to test the vacuum levels of my engine so I know which spring to use in my Tial QR blow off valve. I've got a T coming off the exhaust manifold. The hose that is in my hand goes directly to the blow off valve. However, when I hook it up to the T and turn the car on, it does not register any vacuum levels at all. Am I testing in the wrong place for this?

Wire it up like stock, then plug in the hose from the BPV to your BOV and the other end directly into the intake mani and do your test from that. Cover up the left nipple and the bottom nipple on the little solenoid to the left of the intake manifold and remove the vaccum tank.

Yeah that's how it was when I bought the car. A co worker is telling me that I need to get a forge divertor valve and set it up like stock...but I have no clue how that interacts with having the recirculating blow off valve setup.

My co-worker wants me to buy the forge divertor valve and open back up the plate blocking off the factory bpv and set up all the vacuum lines like his SS is stock. Is that really a good thing to do with an aftermarket recirculating bov setup?

Hey sorry I've been super busy! Is the hose that I'm supposed to use the one that is a hard plastic one coming off the vertical plastic piece off the manifold?
