[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Found a massive vacuum leak. The crap plastic intake flexed after it was installed. There is about a 1/4 by 5 inch hole now. I couldn't see it last night when I tried to start. have to fill it in with something or brace the top side. That way i can get to a welder to make a proper intake tube.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Flexed were the intake meets the SC, mostly on the back side.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]WOW this is ghetto. Cant wait to replace this tube.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Hear are the vacuum lines. The top side of the Bypass Solenoid goes to vacuum side of the intake. The vacuum pulls the bypass open. The bottom side goes to the boost side of the supercharger. That way if you flooring it and make boost when you lift off the throttle the bypass will snap open to relive the boost.[/FONT]
