Default I"m confused as S*** about my vacuum lines

alright today i looked at my vacuum line for the mbc and the bov and have no clue how these are right, cuz to me they look so wrong. first off it's on a 97 gst with a big 16g tubo on it. alright here it goes, one of the lines goes from the bov to a T, that is connected to the mbc and the wastegate, and the other side of that T goes to my intake manifold. And there's another line like 4 inches away from that one coming off of the manifold, that T's into the fpr and the other line goes towards the firewall, so i'm guessing my aftermarket boost gauge. here's a link to a pic of my engine compartment (i kno it looks like ***, but i just painted the ic pipes red and am gunna paint the valve cover red and tuck sum wires) look for the blue vacuum lines

hmmm very strange. If that is a 1g manifold, it has a 2g throttle body on it. Kinda counter productive IMHO.

Thanks brother. I honestly don't know what the different intake manifolds look like. I just got a magnus and was done. I guess i have a little more to learn. lhausi2: is this how your car came, or did you do all the work? The reason I ask is because if its not a 1g head, the 1g manifold isn't going to help flow at all. If it is a 1g manifold, then that 2g throttle body is severely restricting flow. In case you thought we were making fun of you, we weren't. We were just trading info in order to give you the best help possible. John is one of the most knowledgeable on this website. I know from doing, and by commenting on different things we're helping you to make your car run the best way that it can..... just in case you thought we were.... anyway I'll shut up now haha
