Here is a pic of how the connections are on the upper intake. My problem is, where does the line that says to EGR go to specifically?

Also, on my stock upper, there was another outlet that went to the charcoal canister. So, if the Cobra doesn't have it, what do i do?

I appreciate your help!!

There is a cluster of about 4-5 vacuum lines on the passenger side close to the receiver dryer. One of those lines is long and black and attaches to the manifold. This line provides the other 3-4 vacuum lines their vacuum source.

The line from the charcoal cannister connects to the port on the manifold just behind the throttle body.

So this would be the EGR connection, correct?

The EGR vacuum source is in the cluster. It is a shorter vacuum line that just long enough to reach the EGR nipple.

What do you have hooked to the port behind the TB? This is where the charcoal canister hooks up.
I'll get you a pic.

Why do you need a pic? That's what the directions from FRPP state. If you don't have a copy, you can call FRPP and they'll fax you a copy at no charge. Or you can call them and ask them directly. You're venting fuel vapor back into the intake tract. You can't just "T it in anywhere".

I have never seen those routed like that.. The line from the valve cover oil filler should go to the throttle body. the coolant line goes to the spacer. However, the Cobra doesn't have a spacer and coolant line.

I found the detail pic by pic i took while taking everything off and think i am good to go.

thanks

Sorry, i don't see this port your talking of. Like I statd, the original upper has a port for this charcoal line, the Cobra does not!

See the little nipple just inboard of the throttle body opening pointing towards the front of the car? The one where a lot of people mistakenly attach a coolant line and flood out their engine? That 's where the charcoal cannister hose goes.

Correct...but I'm sc'ed so I have it set up this way. I was not showing you this line but was referring to the charcoal canister line that's hooked to the nipple behind the tb.
Glad you got it under control.
