I read that you can tap into the brake booster line too as long as it's before the check valve. Is this correct and would that be a good source?? Suggestions?? Thanks in advance.
None of the "stock" ports on the kit are post blower thus boost cannot be read from them.

You can tap the MAP plate maybe? I think Nameless's plate has this standard.

Thank you. I have the IAT kit from FA20club so I'll have to take a look and see if I can squeeze it on there.

I ran into a problem that I believe someone else ran into but I can't find the post. The grey nipple that goes to the EVAP Solenoid came loose allowing it to spin. Is this threaded directly into the intake tube or is there backing nut on the inside? Is there an easy fix for this? It can only rotate 180 because of clearance. Does anyone know if there is a gasket between the intake tube and the charger that I will mess up if I take it apart?

Greetings John, this fitting is threaded directly in to the inlet tube with no lock nut. It is okay to disassemble the elbow and re thread with new thread sealer if deemed necessary. On a side note, there is some big things getting extremely close fruition.

Mines13 are you referring to the upgraded blower and intercooler kit?

Mine also moves around, I pushed it to tighten it, but I thought this wasn't a big deal?

Anything you can tease us with @mines13?

PS - 70mm pulley is amazing.

I guess this is a nice place to leave this lol.
We have installed a few of these kits now and love the outcome. Also the fact that the car can come in and leave with a ton of extra power, in the same day makes this kit amazing!

sadly I doubt it'll be the upgraded blower, i think the intercooler release and/or CARB approval?

Looking at RevWorks photos, I think I put the couplers for the piping on backwords Don't think it really matters, but whatever. Not sure how I ever looked past that.

If you think about it, it makes sense for the flex one to be up top, but they are both 3" at the end of the day lol. I am surprised I didn't flop them around because with the flex one near the air box it lets the piping move a bit and its real close to the oil stick. Wonder if swapping them will fix this.

Oh well, no harm no foul

Not really, I can only say that good things come to those who wait... And you won't have to wait very long. And yes, 70mm pulley does feel pretty beast provided you have the fuel, etc. I am still on a 75 myself.
