    Do you guys with aftermarket boost controllers use a filter on the vac line between the balance bar and boost solenoid?

    With regards to the boost line going into the cabin am I alright to T-in multiple items to the same line or should the boost controller get its own? Another option I have is what I can only describe as a 'receiver' with multiple outlets. Ignore the arrow that was for something else.

    HKS says to install a moisture filter....

    but it would have to be something with zero restriction.

    Most controllers I've seen ALL state to connect your line to an uninterrupted supply (for obvious reason) Personally, I wouldn't hook up to your 'coke can'.... I took mine straight from the balance tube.

    If you buy an electronic boost controller it normally comes with a T piece and filter for just such a purpose

    Yeah I have one which came with the car but it's seen better days so going to renew it. Do you run a filter between the balance bar and solenoid?
