    Did a search, can someone show me a E36 install of a MAP BOV setup?

    Sorry to be stupid.

    But its too early for me in the morning to think right.

    The BOV is installed onto the pipe, and since im running a MAP setup, I don't have to worry bout venting metered air.

    However, where does that damn hose nipple thingy go thats on the tial 50mm?

    I'm assuming that goes to the brake booster line that is attached to the intake manifold towards the driver's side of the firewall? Isn't that where to Boost gauge goes to also? If thats so, I'll need a 4 sided connector? RAWWRRRRRR!!

    Pics please....

    oh, and the BOV vacuum line routing won't be any different for a MAP based setup or a MAF based setup.

    or, you can drill/tap the manifold and add nipples directly to it.

    Just do that and it'll work better and be easier to hook up. You just need a vac signal to the BOV so it can open and let off boost properly.

    Nipples

    Did you thread the manifold or just screw the brass fittings into it?
