By-pass valve install - web URL

[Peter Berrevoets]

Looks perfectly functional, it might even be a better location than mine as
far as heat from the exhaust manifold goes. How did you route the air back
into the low pressure side?

So far I love the difference the valve has made in the car. I was asked to
do a follow-up post on my 'seat-of-the-pants' impressions. It will be
forthcoming. It will be positive!!

  When I installed a by-pass valve on my wife's 87 5KTQ, I simply made an
  adapter that fit in the lower IC hose.  It was pretty straight forward.
  I found a piece of exhaust tubing which fit snugly in the hose, cut off
about
  3 inches and brazed an elbow on it.  Then I marked the hose where I wanted
  the elbow to exit, cut a hole with an appropriate sized hole saw (this
also
  could have been done with a knife) and then finished cutting the IC hose
in
  the centerline of the elbow exit hole.
  See the attached crude drawing.  I then slid the adapter into the hose and
  clamped everything in place.  Its been working fine for over a year.
