    This is more for those who are curruntly running a vac pump ok?

    I have my pump mounted now so the question I have is this.

    Where do I tap into for the intake of this thing. My PVC is blocked should I plug in there? Valve cover??

    If you have intake you have to have exhaust so how do you route that ?? to a cannister??

    ANyone have a couple pictures of all of these questions?? Thanks

    I have the Moroso 4 vane pump,I think It's best to feed the intake side from the front of the valve covers, this will allow some oil in to lube the pump. Yes the exhaust should go to a breather type canister, I have a Jaz one, cheap like $20, and it should have a petcock or some type of drain valve on it, from what I've learned, it will get some oil in to it that will need to be emptied out.
    I really can't talk about performance, the motor is not in the car, yet...Several engine builders that I have talked to praise the Moroso unit over the rest, definate hp gains seen on the dyno.
    Jegs and Steve at SRE both have the weld on aluminum -12 bungs for the valve covers, good luck. Gary G.
