oh ok go ahead, dont be surprised if you start smelling burnt rubber and your car runs like crap... and if you seen people run it there,then why make a thread asking if its a good spot.... this could of been posted in the small question thread....

Perhaps try getting rid of the vacuum block and hooking up the bov to another source of vacuum after the throttle body, maybe even to where you have your boost gauge hooked up now, just to make sure the bov is not faulty. Don't be E-ffended by assholes either.

As said that will melt....fast. On my ka-t set-up i had enough vacuum sources for all my things. Simplify your intake mani and remove egr/etc. It'll free up some stuff.
