I just attempted to install my JCW CAI and I'm also lost on the location of the vacuum hose connection.

I remember seeing an install procedure SOMEWHERE that had actual images rather than the diagrams on the "official" install..

Any hints or a pic on where this is SUPPOSED to connect? I think I have the rest figured out OK.

Thanks for your help!

Jim

 

Jim, I've sent you a PM about this.

Welcome to NAM

 

When I did mine (which I THINK I did the right way - and all works OK) - I pulled the hose off the bypass valve (I think that's what it is... the black plastic thing on the side of the throttle with a black vaccuum hose attached to the top) then connected up the T-hose from the JCW kit there.

It's much easier to access this if you remove the plastic cover from the intercooler...

 

Jim, check your e-mail. I sent you the pictures.

 

Good tip Blimey. There isn't much room & every little bit extra helps. I cut my hands to ribbons doing mine.

 

Can you send me the pics as well.Getting ready to do mine.

Thanks.

 

I'll post them here. These are not mine I just happened to save them to my hard drive.

 

Do yourself a favor and go and buy a longer hose then what is provided.

 

I really didn't have a problem with the hose LENGTH... just the location...

Of course, I had the intake hose removed from the throttle body also - which helps a lot. But then you need a clamp to reattach it (I'm using an Alta hose...)

 

The guy who cuts that vacuum line for the kit is a cheap son of a gun. Not a millimeter extra. It's just long enough. Barely!

 

Thanks!
