Let me pull it up and give it a look to make sure I’m not crazy, it was last May since I did my install. I’ll get back with you.
Edit: I stand corrected, you were right on the orange wire & add-a-circuit in the photo (was for the pump). Forgot I’d ordered the add-a-circuit but didn’t need it since I used the 5v adapter. I’ve since remounted the map sensor and sheathed the wire loom at the firewall closer to the grommet where the wires ran through for the gauge. I’d of rather tapped into a source like bsimms89 as I’ve already had one 5v regulator go bad. As for the vacuum/boost port, it’s a 1/8” NPT I ordered from summit with neoprene tubing. I did use the butt connector provided to tap in as well. Some of the instructions were somewhat vague and when I ordered my kit last March I was one of the few to get the Gen3 at the time. By the time I received mine in May and installed it, I’d had it on for less than a week and it seized (rotors shredded), it was replaced free of charge due to a freak assembly issue before it was shipped I was told. I’d already installed billet OPG’s prior to the blower but had a panic attack I’d lost oil pressure as the belt was tight enough when it seized that the motor wouldn’t crank. After the replacement unit and JDM tune it’s been all smiles and no issues for a year now. Mike Malicoat from Whipple was a huge help during the install process with answering my questions. I ordered the stage2 kit and along with new and updated parts, the manual supplied was outdated.
Does the 1/8” NPT fitting use 1/8” tubing as well?
My blower has the new Gen 4 rotors. The manual I received is also out of date on a lot of the steps. I was sent a wrong intercooler hose and that has set me back a couple of days on install.
