Greddy FMIC install help????

I just purchased the new kit from greddy for my T2.....I need to know what to do with the 2 lines that went into the stock ic. (the one line frm the upper intake to the ic and the line from the accelerated warm up sol. valve to the ic) as of now i have them capped off and the accelerated warmup valve isn't on. The car will not stay running at idle.....please help.....i wanna get this damn thing done...thanks

Those are just for the fast idle and BAC valve. Not having them shouldn't affect the idle if everything is capped off. If you have a leak in your IC piping that would cause the stalling at idle. Maybe you popped something loose and didn't notice it?

You can try turning up the idle with the screw in the TB. If that doesn't help then you probably have a leak somewhere.

As long as you block everything off properly it will be fine. Let me know what you find tomorrow.
