going to install mine tomarrow. Just want to make sure I do it right. It will be my first mod that I do myself. You just connect it the the line that goes into the bottom of the radix air tube right before the TB?

AMW Catch Can
In regards to the Radix question, I *thought* that I remembered reading that the catch can requires some sort of check valve for supercharged applications?? Might wanna contact AMW on that one

I think the catch can is sucking off the valve cover (if I remember correctly) and the air is going back into the elbow in front of the TB, so, on a Radix, it does not see boost.
If you used the AMW with a paxton or some other centrifugal blower then you would probably have to use a check valve. Even still the hose out of a catch can should be able to be connected to the intake tract somewhere that is on the suction side vice the boost side.

OBCB I got the optional bracket and it looks sweet on the front of the head. So if the extra 25.00 dollars is not an issue I would do it. Install went easy exept I was doing it on a hot engine. Also I will e-mail you the pictures of my exhaust tomarrow. Sorry it took so long. I had an issue with my e-fans (stopped working) that I had to figure out so I could drive my truck. Turns out I fried 2 relays some how. got it fixed though.

So, did you hook it up with a bypass valve that has been talked about? OR is it cool on the radix without one? I really wish i had jumped on this thing awhile ago at $80.00
