Blow off valve open at idle

Hey guys, just finished installing the JDL turbo kit. My issue is that the BOV stays open at idle, even after tightening it down all the way ("hardest" setting). My line for the bov is T'd in to the brake booster line, before the check valve, as many instructions said to do. However, following this line does not lead to the intake manifold, but to a port on the passenger side of the block. I have a 2013 automatic FRS, and since researching a bit have seen indication that the automatic may be different than the manual in this regard. Can anyone tell me if I'm T'd in to the wrong line, and if so, where I should tap into on an automatic car? I was told I may need a stiffer spring for the BOV, but that seems strange considering the quality of this kit.

Edit: couldn't figure out how to add a picture to the other album so here's one with the block port I mentioned circled.
