fish tank check valve PICS.
 
Because my missing link did not fit on my car, I had to go with the fishtank check valves. Made by HALGEN? I dunno, it cost me 3.50 CDN each...because I had bought the wrong sized plastic tees, I had to taper the tips using a dremel tool to fit the blue silicon tubes and the MAP sensor hose.
I used zipe ties to ensure a good seal. Using the proper sized tees, It would have taken me about 5 minutes to install...it took me about 45 minutes to do this. hope this helps someone out. (notice that there is no MAP sensor on the throttle body?)

Your motor is weird. :P That "fishtank" setup looks allot better than some of the ones I have seen. How well does it work for you?

the foil is insulation. I made a cold air intake out of 2.5" mandel bent exhaust tubing which, oddly enough, will now serve as my downpipe. I wrapped it in duct insulation that I found in the garage.
