either pipe works there both connected to the inlet i would rather tap the dv though as i wouldnt want my fuel unexpectedly to cut off when driving one day if something you piped wasnt a good long lasting fix if you get what im saying

Just do it properly and then there wont be no problems. how is one easy cut and a T-Piece going to cut off fuel? cable tie the pipe to the T-Piece if you're worried.

Your not mucking abut with fuel lines, that's the vac line that goes to the FPR. All these pipes are linked so it wouln't make any difference if it split there or near the DV, the resulting leak would be the same.

Jase have you tapped into the inlet for that? I don't have a vac line take off there...

T into the vac lines at some point then

Mine is in the same place as Matt's, then I've run the pipe under the injector rail for neatness  :wink:
