The line is only in a slight vaccum when the engine is decelerating. other than that it is under pressure.I drilled the line about a half inch from where it goes into the compressor housing. Thats where my guys told me to do it at.

If you do, let us know what happens. I wish I ran mine longer without the chip so I could give better info. All I know is she screams at 38 psi boost.

small picture, but it looks like it. On the 24v or at least mine, it's a metal line.
