I need the turbo to AWIC bit for my intake, and an air bypass valve.

some have said use a MR2 valve/etc but I don't know where to get those from, not many junkyards around here with MR2's sitting in them.


If anyone has any parts or IDEAS for the N/A airbox/MAF to turbo, and turbo to AWIC, and AWIC to throttle body; I would love to hear them, I'm out of ideas (local parts store doesn't have any hoses in that diameter).

much appreciated.

You've seen this?

If you're just trying to get the car started, one thing you might consider is putting breather filters on the PCV lines that normally connect to the intake tract, so you don't have to figure out that plumbing.

And maybe buy an aftermarket atmospheric blowoff valve so you don't have to figure out the recirculating plumbing.

I've also described in other threads how to eliminate the need to connect the auxiliary purge valve and the boost control solenoid to the intake.

So, you could make it so the only thing you have to connect to the intake is the IAC valve.

If you're really in a bind, your local hardware store may have some corrugated tubing of some kind (maybe dryer duct?) that you could use to connect stuff temporarily.

Thanks for your input vikash, I hadn't seen those threads yet (I did search, just not for the right terms)

I did some fitting again tonight (pics in the pictures forum, my topic) and I worked out the PCV stuff and some of the intake, it's just a matter of paying a trip to lowes and getting some PVC stuff and then to NAPA and getting some hoses, I'll try to do that this weekend now that I've got my measurements.

I was in a bit of a panic earlier today and developed a severe migraine because of it when I found out my samco hose isn't going to be here till janurary, I'd been planning this for a long time and this is the only real time I have to bring the car down and casually get this done over the course of a week instead of rushing through it.

I'm sorry it's so stressful.

Last time I was at Lowes I noticed a copper fitting that looked interesting; it was a 2"-3/4"-2" tee. It seems to me that that fitting, along with a 2" L-shaped radiator hose that most auto parts seem to carry (I think it might be meant for some kind of Jaguar) might be enough to throw together an approximation of what MY92 posted pictures of.
