I am trying to bounce between the Stillen instructions and the Topgunz conversion instructions and I found that there are a couple holes in both.

1. I bought the SpecialtyZ 3bar MAP sensor which does not fit the OEM MAP sensor port on the Stillen manifold. I am guessing that I am simply going to bolt on the OEM MAP sensor to the manifold and not connect it. The 3bar sensor is going to be zip tied to something, the OEM MAP sensor electrical connector is going to be plugged into the 3bar sensor, and a new hole is going to be drilled and tapped for the the 3bar sense line. Is that correct?

2. In the Stillen instructions, the port on the manifold between the TB's is supposed to be connected to the purge valve. However, my manifold was delivered without the purge valve connection and the hole is simply plugged with a set screw. What am I supposed to do with the purge valve if the purge valve port is plugged?


3. My kit did not come with any hoses that are called out in the Stillen instructions. The only "hose" I received in my kit was 5' of tubing to connect to the bypass valve and also short stainless steel braided line that is plugged on one end. I have no idea where the braided line goes since I can't find it anywhere in the instructions. I also did not receive any of the 3/8's or 5/8's hoses or plastic tees that is called out in the Stillen instructions for the vacuum lines. I am not sure if this was an accidental omission from the kit or if they are not needed for the A2A conversion. I think they were accidentally left out since I seems like I still need to install the breather lines and add a breather filter onto the 5/8's tee. Is that correct? If so, does anyone know where I can find/buy the 5/8", 90deg hoses?



4. I marked up the vacuum diagram from the Stillen instructions. I just wanted to verify that my "corrections" are correct.


5. My blower bracket does not have a 7 rib idler that is shown in the Stillen instructions. My kit came with a small idler pulley but it does not fit in the bolt hole where the 7 rib idler is supposed to be. Is there supposed to be a 7 rib idler in the kit that was left out? And what I am supposed to do with the smaller pulley?
I can answer #5. Look at the 4th picture down on the first post of this thread, that will show you where the small idler (which is a tensioner) pulley goes. You are missing the 7 rib pulley.
