SF Turbo Install Help
OK, I started installing it Saturday and ran into a couple of questions I need some help with.
1. Having a problem installing the IC pipe that goes from the IC to the compressor housing, just doesn't seem to go on the turbo very far. Anyone else have problems making it fit on and clamping it down?
2. Need help with the vacuum lines. Where is it? As for the white "T", I'm assuming "in" is on 1 side, "out" is on the other and the three in between are for boost gauge, boost controller, and BOV? Where does it connect to the top of the fuel system?
3. Did you use a new fuel line or were you able to use the fuel line clipped onto the fuel rail and firewall. And which number on Catalyst's exploded view is it?
Any help would be extremely appreciated. Mad mad mad props to civic01vtec for all the help he has already given me over the phone. I'm sure you'll get a couple calls tomarrow too.

1. I didn't have any problems for the coupling on the compressor housing. It was a bitch to get on though.
2. LOL.......SF only gave me a T fitting that had 4 things, not 5
Anyway........ the 2 on the side tap into the vaccuum line behind the map sensor and TB. The other 3 come from the BOV, FMU and boost gauge. 3. I had to buy 5/16ths fuel line cuz the stock was too short and it would have been kinked. You will see the stock fuel line coming out of the firewall and into the fuel rail. Run fuel line from the firewall to "IN" on the FMU then fuel line from "OUT" to fuel rail.
If you need anymore help, then call me
