questions on connections....

[OsoSlo z28]

i'm dropping in the bpt in mid april so i'm wanting to make sure i have all the "little" things covered before i do the swap. with the bov..which vac line do i connect to it? does it matter? with my boost gauge, where do i run my fitting/hose to? and for the last thing, i'm "wanting" to run a cai straight off the turbo but i have the maf to deal with. am i stuck with it being pretty much where it is now or do i have options on where to put it? i'm guessing it has to be before the turbo so it's not getting all the compressed air rammed into it, but i'm not 100% sure about this. if anyone can help with any of these i'd appreciate it. thanks.<p>[ March 15, 2002: Message edited by: cre8v mx3 ]

If you DO decide to do it, you need a BIG intake pipe, maybe along the lines of 3.5".

why is such a larger diameter needed? is it because the length of the pipe?

c'mon peeps. there's got to be somebody out there with a turbo setup that knows the answers here.
