London Shelby · **Vac lines?**

I have a 89 tona shelby TII and I am looking for a diagram for he vac lines including where to hook a 1g Talon BOV, can any one help I do have the FSM for the 89 but have not founded them in there yet I am restoreing the car and resealing the engine soon and want to make sure the turbo system is working right

There should be a vacuum system sticker up under your hood.

In the FSM's you'll find it in the emissions system part.

The BOV hooks to any intake manifold source (the drivers side nipple on top of the TB can be used).

Ok great. what happens if I do not have the BOV hooked up

lametec · 03-24-2003, 04:47 PM

Not much.

There's a chance you can damage your turb in the lonog run.

so just go buy a T junction and a peice of vac line and hook it up

lametec · 03-24-2003, 07:00 PM

Yep. Just don't tee into the MAP line.

or the fuel pressure regulator line...it works best if left on its own too.

London Shelby · 03-24-2003, 09:06 PM

so its alright not to run a vac line to the BOV

lametec · 03-24-2003, 09:38 PM

I suppose, but why wouldn't you??

omnivore · 03-24-2003, 10:30 PM

Per is right....why wouldn't you run the BOV line?..it can't hurt the car, infact it will save the turbo from undue thrust forces from boost backing up through the compressor...it is intended to lengthen turbo lifespan.

Can i run the Talon BOV vac line from the nipple right on the top of the TB? there is two plugs there, these are just vac sources right?

The thing in the passenger side corner of my shelby z is the charcoal canister right? for emmisions? if it is, i can tear it our and just plug everything off right?
