the first time i had my turbo setup i Ted the BOV into the fuelpressure reg, after i took turbo off i still had the T in. my idle was still jumpy even with the turbo off, eventually i took the T out and solved the idle problem. so is there any other place to T the BOV,wastegate,guages etc. other than the fuelpreg.Or maybe im just not using the right type of T's. i heard there is someone either on this forum or g20 thats selling a unit that you can T once into the line and it has like 3 hookups for guages and what not.

I believe you have a SR20DE'T'. On Bluebird engine, there's a nipple between the #1 and #2 cylinders behind the intake manifold, between the two ports. I saw on my old sr20de that there was a place there to tap something. My BOV line is plugged onto this nipple. My wastegate is plugged before the trottle body, so vaccum is not affected by that one.

My boost gauge is T'd on the FPR too.

It sounds like a BOV leak. I can ear my bov leak a little bit at idle too, but idle is fine. Check the gasket between the two flanges or else...

so wait let me get this straight you have the bov goin to that spot on the back of the engine between the 1st and second cyclinder and you have the waste and guage Ted into the FPR.

Anywhere behind the throttle plate is good.
