I just had my S/C installed and was checking Gadget's site to see what suggestions he had to make sure the install was done correctly. The only thing that I can't find is the check valve in the air assist line. Does anybody know where I should look for thin on a 99 4wd Runner with a 2nd gen S/C?

 

Below the TB is the air injection line. You should see a white valve placed in the line. Someone posted a pic of it a while back.

 

THANKS! Found it and sure enoufgh, dealer forgot to install it. Goin back today to get it done...

 

Yeah you have to be careful when it comes to those. Out of 30 techs in our Service Dept. we have only 2 that we send SCs to. Make no mistake, there is definitely an art to installing them.

WARNING TO ALL V8 SC OWNERS OR FUTURE OWNERS

Going along with the above problems, make sure if you have one of these installed you go over everything with the service department and make an advisor drive with you to ensure proper installation. The new V8s are a whole new ballgame on installation.
