My idle surges from 1 grand to 1500 grand after I take my rpms past 4500, plus MY check engine light comes on. I really need to know more about check valves because I think that I bought to wrong thing. Plus I don't know where my MAP sensor is ???

when i used checkvalves i got mine from petsmart..i opted for the more expensive tetra ones ...you will also need some fish tank brass tees and some 1/8 vacume line..put in line with the map with the check valves set to blow out..that way on vacume they shut off..they will blow off the excess boost before it reaches the map..you may have to add three to five to get it to work right.

This isn't my setup. I do have pics, but none of my check valves. If you want I can take pics. In my kit I opted for the metal check valves. The plastic tetra ones I had literally blew the top right off creating a huge vacuum leak the first night I had them on.

POWER BY TETRA! thats it...cept i never had a prob with my tetra ones even at 10 psi..just got tired of explaining the fish valve setup..plus it bleeds off boost.
