If his blow off valve is working, then I'm sure he's got it connected right.
What he described was that he had the BOV hooked directly to the turbo outlet line which will only see boost, and not vacuum.
I went from 3.5psi to 5psi simply be rewiring my wastegate off of the turbo outlet and into my intake elbow as that seems to be the most accurate place to measure the boost.

im not quite sure why you guys dont understand that, the turbo outlet to the cylinder ports get the same pressure reading.

I never liked the idea of getting reference at the scroll. I can see why its useful in some situations but I'd rather have wastegates and boost gauges be run off the manifold pressure.

my Bov works but ill change it just to make you guys happy.
one reason i put the source on the turbo was to see less boost right no, so if theres a pressure drop on the IC the wastegate would read higher pressure and open sooner, making less boost (as i only have 42lbers in there right now.
