Default Check valves

I am having problems with installing my check valves. My map sensor is connected to my throttle body. If i am correct my check valves need to be before the map sensor.... All help would be needed... thank you

Think of it this way.

You don't want your stock map sensor to see boost, so put a check valve before it.

you would have to make a plate that mounts to throttle, tap it for a barbed fitting. then you can use a hose and the check valves.
another option is to switch to an older throttle which has the metal tube sticking out. like an ef.
but it might be easier to get a missing link for yours.

i hope this will work... I took a plastic vacuum tee 3/8"x3/8"x1/4"... and will be plastic welding the tee between the throttle body and the map sensor and put check valves on the tee... anyone see any problems with this?

if i where u i would get the missing link. and if u want to get the air out of ur cooling system, "burp" it buy starting the car, and squeezing the bottom hose on the radiator, i think the thermostat has to be opened for this to fully work,be carefull tho dont get burt.
