i ran the pipe through the grommet next to clutch fluid resavoir and clipped it to the wiring loom on bulkhead.
the pipe i teed in to was the recirc dump valve feed pipe from inlet manifold.
as close to manifold the better for boost gauge pipe

i ran mine from the pipe off the recirc valve and through the bulkhead just above the clutch next to the down pipe
the ran illumination off the cigarette lighter illumination feed

is it poss you can get a pic as to where this (recirc dump valve feed pipe from inlet manifold) is please..

i aint got a clue as to where this is???

sorry for being thick here but i dont want to cut the wrong pipe..

I T'ed my hose in here,



The only difference being I used a short length of hose to attach to the manifold, so I didn't have to cut the original tubing. That way it's easier to put back to standard if required.

The bulkhead grommet is located here,



It's a bit awkward to remove. I cut a slit in it and sealed it up with silicone once the hose was through.

You can probably just make out the Tee - cut this pipe and fit your tee piece in here

They are both right. The vacuum is formed in the manifold to operate the BOV. Moto has tapped into the inlet manifold so he didn't have to cut the original pipe, whereas I cut the pipe as I had changed it anyway and it was easier.

Choice is yours in the end, simple or easy to return to standard. The routing of the pipe is irrelevant.

Basically for the simple option tee off the pipe going to the top of your BOV, slightly different position to mine as the you have an aftermarket BOV, mine is standard at the moment.
