You are supposed to have a 1.5 ID tube to the larger bypass valve and I rigged it to the tube that was already on the inlet tube to the TB.

So you mounted the vortech maxflo already? Where did you weld the flange to?

I got a 1.5" ID 90* pipe and cut a hole with a hole saw into the pipe coming out of the blower leading into the intercooler. I simply welded the 1.5" pipe to that and have the blowoff mounted there. Its a little farther over on the passenger side since to get the pipe to fit over the TB I had to find a 2.75" pipe and could only find it in aluminum and then used a 2.75" to 3" reducer to mount it to the 3" pipe with a 45* bend to get it over to the 90* bend where the airbox was and down to the FMIC. This whole thing was much more of a pain in the *** than I had originally anticipated.
