SuperShark installers please help me with a few questions...
1st:
I have my oil fill neck out to re-seal the baffle and the gasket and I see that, when facing the oil fill neck from the front of the engine when it is in the installed position, there are two hose connection stubs on the left side of the base.
The rear connection stub has an internal spring loaded plastic piece that acts like a check valve, allowing vacuum to draw from the crankcase through the oil fill neck base.
The other connection stub has a larger diameter opening through it and is currently capped off with a rubber cap as part of the old supercharger installation that was done on my car before I bought it.
Which one of these stubs should I be using for the breather set up for the stage 3 SuperShark set up?
Question 2: How do you install the secret doughnut in the MAF? If you have one you know what I mean...Is it just friction fit?
The last question is:
Do I need a fuel management device installed? From the old supercharger install I have what I believe is an adjustable rising rate regulator in place of one of the stock regulators but the instructions for the Stage 3 kit shows a new device mounted to the firewall.
The instructions are not clear on these points and I plan to email Tim with the questions or call him but I thought I'd try here first since so many of you guys have been there done that I may get an answer before I'm able to get a hold of Tim....
Thanks!
Craig

1. Give me a minute on that one, need to pull up a diagram
2. I'll PM you
3. Stock fuel pressure, the Sharked Tuned chips do the rest
Just make sure you don't install them backwards. Car runs really funny that way. There are notches in the chips to show what direction they go in.
This is assuming 42lb injectors are going in.
How does the radiator look? Todd is doing mine next, thanks to cold_beer839 I have an S4 unit that is a good donor for my car.
Todd told me how "clogged" your core was before the new side tanks went on. I suspect the one in my car will be as bad if not worse (too much barr's leak & head gasket material).
