overboost annahilater ??

On top of the valve there is an allen plug, can the boost line be hooked to this? Will it read correct boost. If I remember correctly these valves are set to fool the pcm at 22psi, that is what my boost gauge was reading after DP install. 4in exhaust 6637 filter.

Pretty sure that port is for a pressure gauge that tells you what you are regulated down to. So, no it won't.

The boost gauge line should be Teed into the hose before the OBA. IOW, it would be hose from intake to boost line with Tee to gauge, OBA, then MAP sensor.

Why not do the AIH mod and use that plug with a boost gauge fitting already tapped into it?

If it's sub-zero where you are alot then it might be a little hard starting, but most of the people in the north haven't had too much trouble.

Why would that be the case? IIRC, the AIH is there to make it smoke less AFTER it gets started for emissions purposes.

Aklim's right. The AIH is only activated after a short amount of time at idle, in park, and when it's cold enough. Kind of like the EBPV, but that IS for warm up. As he said, it's for cutting down on the white smoke when it's cold.
