I have another question for you all...
After installing the HKS BOV, I'm wondering if I did something wrong. How do I know if I have a leak in the line somewhere? Based on my boost gauge, WOT, I'm not getting close to the 15psi some of you have been reporting. My peak (accoriding to my autometer) shows 10. Should I be concerned, or maybe I need an education on reading the gauge... Any advice? Thanks.
What boost level did you have before the BOV install?

Well, as far as i know, the BOV mod should not change your boost level. You should still have what you had before. If it went down then you have a boost leak. But it shouldn't go up, I don't think.

Where and how did you tap the intake manifold for the vacuum hose?
You don't have to tap it. Just buy a boost port adapter from Alta. Fits in the hole where the MAP sensor is and you just place the MAP sensor back on top like a sandwich. Yes, you'll have to pay for it, but it sure is a lot better than drilling a hole in your intake manifold!
