Default Two BOVs...special way to run vacuum line?

I am thinking about have a BOV installed on both my hot and cold charge pipe. I am curious to know if the two BOVs need to be hooked-up in a "special" way, or if I simply run a vacuum line from each to the IM?

that would be sweet, but no, just needs a good vaccum source

So, both would go off at the same time right? I wouldn't want them to go off seperately.

what would be the benefit of running 2 BOVs instead of 1?

For 99% of the S2000 setups, it will just be bling. Unless you're running a HUGE turbo with a small BOV at high boost pressures, it's not necessary.

Tim,

You are right. I am going for something a little different.

Exactly the same, but different...
(clicky for the big pic)


(don't notice the 2x4 hood prop, that's custom!)

You can use the same vacuum line, just "T" it.
