2nd GB for AirFlow AFCs SOLD OUT AGAIN

[noclue119]

What do I use to extend the AFC vaccuum line to the intake manifold line? I was planning on mounting this in my glovebox.

If you decide to T off of the brake booster line(1/2" ID maybe?), you also have to watch out for a check valve which is actually in the tube about 6-12" from the right end of the tube, as a barely noticable lump if you take the insulating off from around it.

I've already T'd off the brake booster line, so I know about that check valve I'll see if I can get a dual nipple T or whatever you call it to replace the one that's already there(for my BOV).
And noclue, the link you posted didn't work.
EDIT: part number comes up, but the link didn't work.

is nylon better than silicone? any advantages/disadvantages or pretty much don't make a difference?

i just found nylon to be easilier to feed through the firewall compared to the silicone. silicone has the tendency to stick i don't nkow about the advantage and disadvantages.

I have yet to encounter any problems, it does all the datalogging features just fine, I haven't tried to tune it yet because I don't have a wide-band, but once I go to the dyno I will be able to tell you.....the serial to usb converter comes with software that you have to install to get it to work right.

I might as well ask this now before finding out the hard way...
If I can't find a fitting with two nipples coming off it, is it okay to use two separate t-fittings on the brake booster line?

I don't see why not.

You could also get something like the "vacuum manifold" from golden eagle. MAM also makes a similar piece I beleive, and I though I heard flyinmiata also makes one. Basically an aluminum block that the brake booster line goes through with holes for brass fittings for a slightly more elegant vacuum hose setup.

sweeeet mine just came in, my box looked like it was run over by a bicylce but the AFC seems to be intact.

Got mine installed, and took it for a quick test run. So far everything seems to be good. I had one problem I'm hoping this AFC would fix, and I'll find out tonight on my way to/from work in the cold air.

best/easiest place I found to tap was off the nipple by the tb, same place I had my boost gauge...bought a brass t-valve from AZ for like 1.29...if you're running nylon line you can get a 3 way crush fitting joint at AZ also...if everyone ends up having a hard time getting these parts I might just start including them in the kits....just never really crossed my mind before...I guess my tool box is a little bigger than most....though most of it is old broken parts off the dsm...

mine arrived today as well... packaged very nicely. Now i'm just waiting on my shortblock... for the second month now...
