No, i don't think it's really needed. On mine i have the stock rubber line plugged up with a 2 liter bottle cap and a hose clamp.

i believe it's used to connect on the T from the valve cover.

BTW, keep up the good work!

i know the vacuum hose going to the t on the valve cover is needed. but i am talking about the tiny lit vacuum hose i will take a picture of it later. it goes to the ignitor i believe.

Idaho, I don't know if this has been asked/covered already because I'm too lazy to go back reading through 20 pages. But I'm assuming that intake mani is a fake greddy, right? Be prepared for some fitment issues with the throttle cable and fuel pressure regulator. I just had the honours of seeing what needed to be done on a fake greddy to get everything working right, and the guy had fabbed up a bracket and flipped the regulator over, then cut the neck down to clear the head.

The first pics are of optional relay stuff that I don't have on my harness anymore. You don't need them. The 2nd pics are of what I believe to be the JDM PAIR valve wiring, but I'm not sure. I say you can get away with deleting all that but Id like second opinons.

you dont need any of that factory stuff. i cut my bracket just big enough for the ignitor chip. is there a certain reason you placed your ignitor way down there?

sounds like youre doing every thing right. just make sure your tune is right. over 20lbs of boost can destroy internals. hence A/F, and timingbelieve me, i learned the hard way. stock pistons have weak ring lands
