All of these installations are to be performed at your own risk!!!!

Step 3 (Installing the Nozzle):

    I bought a dual nozzle kit.  You have to request this as the normal kits only come with one for lower cube motors and lower horsepower applications. You need to install the nozzle in the upper portion of the air bridge for Mag cars or in the upper portion of the pipe for supercharger applications.  I am running turbos and installed one on each side of the airbridge.  There is a supplied check vavle with the kit that I would suggest using so there is no siphoning of the tank.  Take a look at the fittings and determine the bit size you need for the hole.  The instructions stated a 3/8" diameter hole but I ended up drilling a much bigger hole than that for them to work.  Feed just the nozzle/jet through from the inside with a washer.  Depending on the thickness you may need two washers.  I used a very thick aluminum airbridge so I had to shave the rubber off to get them to work.  Just don't bottom out the nozzle in the elbow supplied.  After the nozzle is installed, attach the 1/8" pipe to to the -4 adapter.  Clean up and reinstall the pipe.  The dual nozzle kit will come with a "T" and two short hoses.

Step 4 (Installing the Manifold Air Pressure Sensor):

    The MAP sensor can be insalled  under the dash and even t'd into your boost gauge.  I ran a direct line to a distribution block under the hood but this is not necessary.  If you will be t'ing into a plastic boost line, a t is supplied with the kit.   Just find a place under the dash and zip tie it somewhere close to the steering column.  Read through the rest of these instructions before wiring anything.

Step 5 (Plugging in the Pump):

    Plug in the pump and route the wiring into the passenger compartment.  I drilled a hole around the area the hood release cables come in and installed a grommet.  Whenever you drill any holes make sure that nothing will be cut on the other side that you don't want to get cut.

Step 6 (Wiring this Puppy Up!):

    Remember to solder and shrink wrap all your connections!  We first need to decide where you want the LED.  This LED lets you know that the pump is working.  The MAP sensor will tell the pump to start spraying when you reach 4 lbs. of boost.  The LED will be red and then turn green letting you know that all is OK.  I mounted my LED right next to the A/F gauge on the A-Pillar.  You can get to this location and have an easy route for your wiring to under the dash by removing your A-Pillar.   The turn on LED has an orange and a brown wire that will connect to the orange and the brown wire coming out of the PAC box that is hooked into the controller.  (See below for all the wiring info). 

    Mount your power distribution box to the steering column by using a zip tie.

                     Put the PAC unit in a suitable place where you can access it if needed after the car is together.  It is preset from the factory but you may want to change some settings on it.  I just slipped mine up behind the carpet behind the radio area.

                The wiring goes as follows:

MAP Sensor:

• Put together the red wire from the MAP with the red wire from the pump and attach the the "+" terminal on the distribution block
• Attach the green wire to the green wire coming out of the PAC box.
• Attach the black to a ground.  I attached the this and the black wire from the distribution box to a screw right to the left of the radio under the dash.  (See pic below)

Power Distribution Box:

• The red wire goes to a switched 12V source.  Tap into the big orange wire by the ignition.  (See pic below)  I used a big tap to go to this wire since it is about a 8 or 10 gauge wire.  The connector my finger is pointing at is something for the alarm and not the ECS kit.  You can see the connector in the 2nd pic but the flash kind of blinds it out.
• The black goes to the same ground as the MAP sensor.
• If you have a brown wire coming out of the distribution box you will connect that to the bare wire coming from the pump.  If you do not, see the pump connections below.
