I haven't ever hooked up a BOV with 2 lines going to it, my TIAL 50 only has the top and it works just fine hooked up to anyplace behind the throttle blade.

I installed mine like the dsm guys. Just hook the bottom port to the turbo (I ran mine right off the compressor). I initially tried it the way you did but this was the only way i could get mine to work.

Ok I have had that BOV and this is what you do.
1. Top port goes to your intake manifold/Fpr vacum singal.
2. The lower port goes to your boost singal off the compressor housing. the same one your wastegate goes to. After that adjust the Hard/soft acrew until desired sound. make sure you dont lossen it to much tho, you dont want it opening under vacum. Mine had a nice high pitched pshhhhh sound to it. I loved it. But the type S is not good for anything over 15psi. (they leak then) Any other questions you might have.

Ohh and DO NOT USE THE BAKE BOOSTER FOR YOUR VAC. SINGAL THey have check valves in them. Just use the vac. line from your FPR.
