There are quite a few taps on the inlet air tubes which OEM consider vacuum and are engineered to operate correctly for their function. Installing one closest to the turbo inlet would give it the best chance to respond first. It can be considered to be negative atmosphere difficult to measure thus the map senser in the tube. consider it a PID and readable with code meter that graphs.

Quick question for those running the Stage 3 UPR cans. I've been searching all the threads on a couple sites, and I can't find a good replacement for the drain-bolt. I'd really like a quick release valve of some sort. I believe it's 5/16". My fat arms plus a ratchet won't fit under all that plumbing to get to the drain. If you could link a part, that'd be great. I looked at my auto parts store and was greeted with blank stares. *chuckle* Same thing at Home Depot. The guy asked, "5/16 of an inch? You sure?" I know the HOSES are 5/8", but the little drain hole is either 5/16" or 8mm. Anyone? Thank you.

They are 1/8 NPT, for those who care. Ordered 1/4 NPT and they're too big.

My error! Sorry! 1/8 NPT may be to restrictive to drain the mix that accumulates...

All good, TB. Thanks for the quick replies. : ) I agree with you and will be tapping it out as soon as the UPS man finds my house.
