Paul Whiffin Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Nice work bet you cant wait to have it remapped , quick question the large blue hose coming from the top of the inlet and then goes down the side of it where does that run to ? Thats for the idle valve Chaz, we mounted it under the inlet, looks a right mess if its bolted to the top of the inlet manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
