i will try and get pics up tonight, as yesterday i left my camera card in my computer.

so i'm having an issue hooking up the vacuum lines to the typhoon intake i am swapping over to.
now the typhoon has 2 - 3/8 ports which i have 3/8 barbs on
and 2 - 1/8 ports which i have put 1/4 barbs on. ( using 1/8 to 1/4 fittings)

now i know the PCV valve uses 2 - 3/8 vacuum sources, which pretty much uses the 2 that i have on the intake. so now i have a problem with the line that feeds the vacuum tree. i don't see reducing it to a 1/4 will feed enough for the important things like brakes and the other things on that tree.

so would i see a problem if i use one of the 1/4 barbs on the small ports to feed the PCV along with one 3/8 ports? so i could use the other 3/8 ports for the vac tree. Or does the PCV need the 2 big feeds?

if it doesn't make sense it will once i get a pic up.

Or if someone has a typhoon intake and would be nice enough to post a pic with what fitting you used. that would help out alot.

Thanks
joe

ok here is a pic of what i have. the one on the bottom with the hose and the one that is facing away came with the intake. the smaller 2 i had installed. so my delima is how would i hook up the 2 for the PCV valve which IIRC used 2 - 3/8 barbs. which would take up the only 2 - 3/8 barbs i have. but i still have the line that goes to the vacuum tree. and if i hook up the 2 3/8 lines to the PCV then i would have to hook it to a 1/4 barb. but that 1/4 barb is really coming off of 1/8 port. which i don't think would be enough to feed the whole vac tree. and then i have the EVAP which would be the other 1/4 barb, which is no porblem. HELP.


there is also this small fitting that is for the FPR

you mean the 3/8 with 2 smaller ports coming off of it?

if thats what you mean i think it was lock tite on cause i stripped the outside of it trying to get it off. That sucker on the stock cobra intake for good.
