Looking for some info - FFIM upgrade

MK34me · 03-11-2011, 04:41 PM

Hey all, I'm at the point of a rebuild where it gets a bit tricky for me. I want to upgrade to a front routed intake manifold on a 7mgte. I can visualize what has to happen, just dont know the specifics. Can anyone give me some info as to how I re-run the throttle linkage? I think I've got everything else worked out:
1. Re-route the intercooler piping
2. Relocate the BOV to the intake piping (does the vacuum line still run to its original location atop the valve cover or is there a closer spot?)
I know there is more, those seem to be the big ones.
Do I need to relocate anything else? Also, I have upgraded my turbo set up to a racing manifold, HKS turbo w/external wastegate. Where does the vacuum line coming from the bottom of the wastegate run to?
S*^T! I've got the MK3 flu bad and need help to finish this darn project!!!
Help please.............................anyone?
