    throttle body issue?

    Of the 2 barbed ports on the t3's throttle body, is it normal to not have any vacuum at the larger of the 2 barbs? I just noticed today i had no vaccum there as i was messing around re-doing my vac lines after installing my greddy rs bov. Ran my vac line there and had no bov function, i have ran my bov's there tons of times on turbo cars even my mini and had no problem. So i took the line off while running to find nooo vaccum there.

    Yes run your BOV off the small nipple on the TB. Thats where I always do and it seems to work the best there. No vacuum at the larger nipple.

    ahhhh ok cool. Thanks guys!!! I had eliminated the pruge crap some time back and just capped those off, the stock bov was routed at the vac distribution block (prevous owner installed) but i dont think it was ever working anyway where it was as the same noise was heard now with the new bov routed from the same spot. so i figured i would move it to the TB where i have always put them. Just had the wrong port haha.
