Unhappy BOV return line

Hello,
I've got an 88 turbo and I removed the ACV and AWS. I "T"ed the boost sensor to the BOV return line and now my BOV doesn't seem to work or it's not loud anymore. I also put the dual pulley on so it grips....

Was I supposed to T in the lines like that or another way.

I also made sure the pill was in the boost sensor line


Thanks,
Benny

was the BOV pluged in to the ACV before?

you should only be "T" ing the vac lines, not the BOV lines.

the big hoses between the turbo pipe, BOV, and turbo inlet duct should not have been touched. the vac line should now come out under the BAC valve, and "T" to go to the BOV vac nipple and boost sensor.

this might sorta help....

Make sure the straight side of the T is connected to the intake manifold and the BOV - screw the boost sensor.

Put the 90-degree side to the boost sensor.&nbsp The BOV should work a little better.
