Default J-tube on a radix, before or after?

The directions say put the j-tube on before you install the blower, but I've been told it is easier to instal after, what do you guys think?

Also, where does the tubing from the botom of the EVAP run to? The back of the J-tube?

The blower should come with the J-Tube installed. If you are installing a different J-Tube then yes, do it before you install the blower.

Cool, I'll try that first, lol

There are 3 barbs on the rear of the J-tube. I take it one of these are for the bottom Evap Hose?

Thanks Again guys.

No, the evap plugs into the hole on the front of the lower manifold.

The evap canister should mount to the front of the blower. The ones on the back are for the brake booster and other vacuum lines.

Do it before. I just pulled my blower off to install the J tube. Not see how I could have done it otherwise.
