Is my boost bypass valve set up correctly?

[Venom351R]

I drove the car for the first time up here since getting in in January. I noticed that the factory boost gauge is not reading anything and the blower does not have any whine to it. It has a lower crank pulley and upper pulley and I've been told its been ported. It should scream, but its silent. My EGR system has been removed so I'm not sure if this changes anything with the bypass valve or not but the pictures show how mine is set up.
There was an aftermarket boost gauge installed once in the car but that is now gone but the boost line is still at the boost T behind the glove box. I capped that off so it was just the factory boost lines that should be getting any boost but that did not change anything.

EGR removal won't affect the bypass. It's been a minute, but that looks right to me. Fire the car up and rev the engine a couple times. The bypass should move.

I put zip ties on my lines as safety measure.

Seems like it could be a bad bypass

Heres the back of the blower just for reference for everything being set up correctly. I believe the one port that is capped off has to do with the EGR. I want to make sure everything is set up right to eliminate that and then move onto it being the bypass being bad. From the video it does not appear as though it wants to hold pressure.

IIRC the capped port is for the PCV. Which I'm guessing is deleted along with the EGR. It looks like your bypass is connected to the correct port from here. You can pick up one of those hand vacuum pumps to test the valve. But yeah, if it's not holding with your finger there's a good chance the diaphragm is shot.

That's pretty much where I'm at with it now with everything appearing to be hooked up correctly. I wanted to be sure of that before putting parts on it. Bought a bypass valve off of Ebay shipped for $84 and will be here on weds. I'm off from work on thursday and the weather as of now looks ok for that day so I should be able to take it out and make whine whine noises hopefully

If this is on the car, I'm sure there are a bunch of other issues too.

03/04 Cobra Vacuum Lines Documented

I have been apalled by the lack of documentation regarding the vacuum and boost lines for the 03/04 Cobra. I am collecting parts for a Teksid Terminator motor I am slowly building for my 96 Cobra, so I have most of the lines and parts in my collection. A friend asked me to help with getting his...

Thanks I'll look that over. Just wanted to be sure with whoever removed the EGR stuff that they left the remaining lines set up correctly.

What......who knows?
Why.......because anyone that plugs a vacuum line with what looks like RTV and some screws is a hack and I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the same quality of work has been performed on other aspects of the car.

Considering it runs fine, has non codes or idle issues I'd assume just as you did that its fine. Plus how you saw things then may not be as they are soon after.
