Supercharger installation *Help!!*

I have all of my supercharger installed except one line.
My power steering pump has two lines going out of it, one goes to the airbox and one goes to the stock upper intake manifold.
I hooked one line back to the intake silencer, but with the supercharger, where do I hook it up to??

How, if you have, solved this? My SC gets here tomorrow, and I'd like to know where this goes too!

My s/c was installed by the dealer, but by the look of things, I just compared the lines on your pics to my installation and everything looks good.
Great Job!

Hello SLC Punk....

Ive been looking for a picture of a S/C, but now I cant seem to find one.

I do know that that hose needs to connected to vaccum on the "intake" side of the throttle plate. It doesnt really matter, for all this hose does is allow "un-metered air" past the throttle plate to increase the idle when P/S pressure/load is great.

The hose you indicated is the power steering idle up circuit. Its function is to allow air to bypass the throttle plate when the power steering comes under load. It draws the air from the intake silencer between the MAF and the throttle plate. That way the air the bypasses the throttle plate will be metered by the MAF sensor.

The best plate to connect is where you have the 4x4 vacuum supply line connected to the EVAP hose next to the brake boost hose. The important thing is to use a large enough T fitting so you do not restrict air flow in the EVAP line or the power steering idle up line. You want as much airflow as possible so that the idle will increase sufficently when you put the power steering under load to prevent stalling.

The best place to connect the 4x4 vacuum supply line is to the vacuum port just behind the throttle body on the supercharger assembly. It will be facing the firewall. There should be hose that already connected there that goes to the dash pot on the throttle body. You will know you have it hooked up correctly if your 4x4 properly engages.

Thanks Gadget.
So I need to connect the PS line to whe evap canister, and connect the 4X4 vacuum to the line that currently goes from the throttle body to the supercharger port. Is that right?

Yes sir, I think you have it.

Just make sure you are using the proper size vacuum hoses and T fittings for the EVAP and Power Steering Idle up lines. You don't what to restrict flow in those lines.
