    Two questions

    Should there be any complications running the GM BCS in bleed mode (should just be a better version of the stock system I think)?

    What ports hook where to connect the GM BCS in bleed mode?

    I've ran it in bleed mode. (thats where you are just bleeding the pressure off the diaphram, right?) I didn't have any problems, aside from the BCS not liking a frequency over 20hz. My Link allows me to set that. I'm not sure what the factory ECU runs the BCS at.

    Yeah, I don't understand what you're asking, as well. The stock BCS is a bleed type system, and the GMBCS is a three port type. The link Shibbs posted is a good one at describing how the three port design functions, and does well to describe the benefits vs stock.

    if i understand everything i've read so far, i can hook up the gm bcs like the stock one (leaving the t in the lines)
    this should be the correct bleed mode

    i just need to know which hose to put on what port
    or in other words when the stock bcs is not energized is it open or closed - i can figure it out from there

    yes i know how to run in interrupt mode, but i can't do that without tuning and i'm not going to pay 150 to tune a 20 part
    once i get other upgrades i'll do it normally

    i probably won't put it in but...

    every writep-up also mentions installing the 3 port in bleed mode but never says how. they all say this is a way to directly replace subaru's bcs without the need for a tune since little difference will be seen
