Thats what I have been doing. I have my intercooler mounted, pipe from motor to intercooler done, next I plan on routing it back towards the rear.

Is that an STS thing? Why not just "T" into the FPR vacuum line?

If you don't install a check valve in this port you will pressurize the crank case under boost.
Whipped 496, if you did this on your truck. You may gain a pound of boost.
Sense I can't find my instructions. I'll take some picks of it tomorrow and post them.

Ok this the tube that you'll need to pull out. Then tap the hole and install an check valve in it. I also put an 90 deg fitting with it cuz oil will run down the bottom side of the intake and gets sucked into it.


This port will need to be blocked off. You can do this by making a new gasket for it and just don't make the hole for the port.

Alright, thanks man, hopefully I can get this done this week. What exactly am I looking at in the first pic, is this under/inside the manifold? Or is it the head cover?

Underside of the intake. As soon as you pull it you'll see it.
