XS Single install Q

The instructions say to connect a vacuum line from the intercooler pipe to breather. What 'breather' are they referring to?

If my memory is right, there shouldn't be any connection between the i/c & the breather. The breather is the hose that connects to the oil filler tube and should be connected to the short pipe that connects the k&n to the turbo inlet. There's a hose that is disconnected when removing the original turbo parts that connects to the oil sprayers that should be connected to the i/c pipe.

You're absolutely right. I read the instructions wrong, it is from the intake pipe like you said. Thanks!

Ok, a couple more. What it says to connect to the IC pipe is to 'T' the oil injection vacuum line into the injector air bleed socket. What is that & where can I find it. I don't see it in the lube section of the service manual, & looking at the vacuum hose diagram, the oil injectors source their vacuum from the intake pipe on the front turbo, thru a kind of vacuum distribution rail that the stock wastegate & precontrol solenoids share, to the rat's nest & then to the injectors. Where along this line is the 'injector air bleed socket'?

Next, the Apexi BOV is to be connected to the the intake manifold. However, it's supplied with a vacuum line 'T' connector which the instructions don't show what to T it into. So can the BOV be connected STRAIGHT to the intake manifold or is it T'd to something else?

Thanks, Chris

The vacuum line can be connected straight to the manifold if you have a spare nipple. If not then you can T it into any existing boost/vacuum source.

Thanks Silver7!

So what about the omp nozzles' vacuum line? Can I just T them together & connect that line to the IC pipe?

TIA, Chris

the omp injectors can be attached to any vac/boost source. I don't think they neccessarily have to be connected to the IC piping. But to answer you question, yes, that will work.
