Tapping into Boost source for Meth install

[BooSTed_Hatch]

So I'm going to be attempting my DO Stg2 DVC 30 Meth install tomorrow. Looks pretty straight forward and found a ton of good install threads...

Only thing I can't find or see that I'm a little confused on is :Where to tap into the boost/vacuum source? with the boost tubing from the controller. From what I've seen people have not tapped into the boost/vacuum line that goes from the BPV to manifold, so then where?

And the boost lines that come with this kit are ridiculously small!!

Thanks in advance for any help!

So you DID tap the boost/vacuum line from BPV? Can you take a quick pic?

Thanks dude.

Yeah??? Okay, that's what I was thinking but every install thread I saw they didnt. (although they didn't reference that part anyway so they might have)

Tapped bpv line to vacuum block for meth controller and boost gauge.

I'll be tapping the bov line, seems easy enough. Did you use the positaps for the controller wires? Or did you get some add a fuses?

I'm doing the install tomorrow. I was planning to use the postitaps, but I will be getting a few last minute things from O'Reillys in the morning and I might get the Cooper Bussman ATM fuse Tap

That seems to be the consensus and honestly that's what was most logical to me. Thats where I always tapped for boost gauges on previous cars so..

You get it installed? What did you use for fuses?

Nope not installed. I attempted it last weekend, but realized it was more than I can chew (without the right tools). I did most of all of my setup now install wise, but I borrowed somebody's shop that had a lift and tools, so It made it easy.

I will get it installed at some point..... More thinking about BT right now though.

+1 for BPV line

i have my bpv line tapped for DVC3, and Mechanical boost gauge, and Ignition amplifier =)

i also used the add a circuit bus tap where the thing has two fuses in it the original and the added fuse for the extra circuit works good on my devils own pump

Look here:My Devil's Own meth/water injection setup

There should be a pic of how I tapped it in.

Got this same kit but they didnt supply enough line to reach my bov...can I T it into the grimmspeed 3rd port? Says it connects to high pressure boost source

Thanks

Any boost source will work. Tapping in there may actually record a higher boost level, being before the intercooler and all. But you should be able to set the Meth to come on and compensate for the pressure drop
