Question about vacuum lines to BOVs

I'm running the vacuum lines for my twin turbo set up and I'm about to start routing the lines for the dual BOVs. My question is, do the lines need to be equal length to each BOV? I assume I can run a single 5mm silicone line up to a point and then split it into dual 5mm lines with one running to each BOV. If this thought is correct, do I want to make the split as close as possible to the BOVs or does it not matter?

I'm sure I will have many additional vacuum line questions as I move on to the fuel system, boost controller, and solenoids when I get to them.

Thanks!
Jason

I only have 1 BOV, but 2 WG's . I just plumbed vacume and boost lines as needed to the top and bottom of the WG's and mine works fine. I didn't bother about keeping the lengths similar.

Difference in lengths should be irrelevant for boost reference on the BOVs.. Might look nicer to make them the same though :)

ended up taking a single silicone line down to the BOVs and then split to each BOV. Thanks for the responses guys!
