Pretty sure it is to the boost bypass actuator, if we are talking about the same thing. It goes to the intake tube or you can leave it open to the atmosphere. I have ran it both ways.
Just ordered 2.9 Whipple!! 1st owner!!

You have just created a vacuum leak. By doing this, you are letting unmetered air into the intake and there is no way for the engine to add extra fuel because it doesn't know it is getting it. This will cause your car to run lean and possibly damage the engine depending on your current tune.
You would have to run a breather on both valve covers, or better yet a catch can, and get the car retuned for this to work properly.
Follow it and find out. LOL. It's not that hard to trace.

A vacume leak how??? Those holes in the VC's are post MAF anyhow...they were never in the metered loop to begin with. Besides, the air going in or out of the valve covers doesn't need to be metered, it's for overpressure. I'm not sure what your talking about with that response:shrug: I do have breathers in both sides, but am not sure what that has to do with anything. Please explain further. I inquired about the small line so I could either plug the line or plumb it into somewhere else if it's truely needed...or if it's some more emissions crap like the other larger hoses into the VC's.
Ok, I'll have to trace it somemore to confirm. I doubt it's to the bypass...it was never hooked to a true vacume/boost source to begin with. On the JLT intake tube there is a small barb that it hooked to. I think it's for emissions, but I have to confirm this yet.
:shrug: What happened to this thread? It has obviously gone off topic.
it's the whipple 2.9 curse, we've already lost about 5 members to it...
:lol:
Let's just say 4 members...My car is snowed in and I can't get it to my shop to work on it:fm:

Hope the link works posting from my phone since govt computers won't let me on SVTP and had to retype the address by hand, it was just uploaded about 13 hrs ago, maybe someone knows more about the car made 727/633 at 19 psi

Looks awesome but details are few. Says built motor with cams. Wonder if that's on pump gas? Wonder how much lower HP will be on stock heads/cams.
Its already been posted about, its a 100/93 mix. Greg posted about it yesterday, ill see if I can find the link
Now we just need someone with a "stock" motor to try this out. 19# doesn't help out either, would like a 93 octane tune that makes over 600 easily, don't want to worry about where I go and if I have a can of Torco with me.
Same here except we only have 91 in Kansas City.
Spoke with a rep at whipple today and they only make a 3.5 pulley for this blower which will net 18 to 19lbs of boost. Reichard makes a 4 inch but then there might be a hood clearance issue. I'm ordering the 2.9 on monday along with the 4 inch pulley and I will see if it clears my hood. Also my motor is all stock. I have all the supporting mods needed for the upgrade so we will see what she makes. I will post a new thread when I get all this done.
Why such a large upper? You already have a different lower?
And how much boost you planning to run?
