So my vortech is installed everything went great but there were a few questions..
Where does the bypass valve end (the end the small hose goes on) connect to the vaccume line? Like where does the hose and 3 way connector go? Also it talks of an ignition capatictor relocation. Yea don't know what that is.

So the initial start up was great but i heard a knocking noise, but it was just a belt not all the way on the powersteering. But now when im in boost there is a clicking noise. It doesent sound likedetonation but like if i take it to redline slow it doesnt happen but when i am gettin at it and take it to red like there is a slight almost like something is wiggling against something from vibratino.

The small tube on the bypass valve tees into the TPS wire. Its the red wire near the throttle body. You really dont have to worry about moving the capacitor. I just lossened mine and rotated it some.

OK I see the red wire connecting into the plenum. Its like where two wires meet. But where should i put the t and connection? I found where the hose leads to infront of the passenger firewall. Is that where it goes?

that sounds like you have mild detonation. your either not getting enought fuel, your timing is off or the ecu isnt calculating the load correctly. in shot GET IT TUNED!!!!

Definately get that beast tuned before it chuck the dueces on ya. I'd hate to see a fellow stangbangers chit go up in smoke. Did your kit not come with a tuner with a tune for the SC?

The kit came with the MPH tune. I got it dyno'ed today 357/355 and they added fuel because it was leaning out up top. But I guess the rattle must just be the lower loose fenderwell or something like that because on the dyno she screamed like a whore.

Does anyone have any pictures on how to route the t fitting into the vaccume line? And if I were routing a boost gauge could I get a 4way cross fitting and run the boost gauge hose line here?
