I'm trying to figure out the vacuum hose routing for the intake. I have everything figured out except for the brake booster hose that leads to the fenderwell. Can I T that line off of the PCV hose? Anyone see anything wrong with that?

I'm still in the planning stage right now, the car is torn apart but I can't get two broken valve cover studs out of the head. bolt/screw extractor isn't working. Any tips on that?

The big brake booster hose goes to the same place that it did on your SN95 intake, only your hose is a bit longer than needed now. It attaches to the fox vacuum tree coming out from under the lower intake instead of on the vacuum tree on the elbow of the SN intake. You can either cut the hose to fit or do some creative routing to keep it stock length like I did. The FPR vacuum and the vacuum next to the EGR vacuum hose both go on the smaller tines of the fox vacuum tree, with the brake booster on the larger curved tine. The EGR vacuum still goes on the EGR valve, and the charcoal canister goes on the front of the EGR spacer if you're using a 93 Cobra intake (it's different on the non cobra intake, but I can't remember where it hooks up). I hope this helps.

The charcoal cannister purge line goes from the CC to front of the intake (on a fox).
