Default Bov vacuum line connection question

Hi. I’m working through a mess I got into buying a ls swapped mustang. I’m trying to set everything up and some vacuum ports have been removed and wanted to know if the nipples on the bottom of the tb would work for connecting by bov??

they are in front of the blade so no. they will never see vacuum.

a BOV is for girls..... unless you're fly by wire with serious set up.

That’s what made me think twice.. it’s a strictly drag setup but will only see about 14lbs boost for now.. idk.

Those barbs were for coolant to travel through.

As said, those are just water pass thru lines-depending on what TB that is, some have a brass nipple on the DS, I used a comp. fitting on it for the BOV. Some have a plastic nipple on them.

Ok, thanks! Good to know. The manifold has had all the vacuum ports blocked off except the two nipples behind the tb, which has is being used up by the fuel press. Regulator and a weird adapter block thing that the map sensor for this microsquirt is using. It’s all just weird. Not to mention the crank position sensor is not even connected. None of the vital connectors/sensors behind the mani are connected. 😒

Looks like their not using the cam sensor, pictured next to the oil pres. sensor. The crank sensor is down near the starter.
