Lookin' sweet man Yeah, just toss that idle valve...you don't need it. The vacuum line for it actually attaches into the air intake tube, and since you don't have all that stock ish, just take the bitch off. Once your idle's set anyway you probably won't even need it. I took mine off (cause my strut tower bar wouldn't fit it with it there) and it's fine at idle. You gotta boost it though...9 pounds ain't really ---- on it depending on the turbo. I have mine at 12 on a crappy vafc and completely retarded timing and i'm turnin' out corvettes like crazy

are you talking about that valve that has the flat top with the nipple on the left (the one beside the butterfly rotor on the TB?) cuz if u are,. thats not an idle valve. its the dashpot diaghram. its only purpose in life is to slow the the tb plate when you let off the gas fast.

Oh. I'm guessing since the 94 up B series throttle bodies don't have them, they aren't really neccesary?

if they aren't connected to a vaccum source, will it cause problems or anything? I have mine open onthe nipple and you can feel it sucking a little bit.

I drove mine around all day without it plugged in and it fine. I think since I replaced the vaccuum hoses and didn't put the check valve back in, that was the issue.

Im going to use the same parts I did in my initial build. https://www.homemadeturbo.com/turbo_projects/csaddict/

I am even going to build the same mini ram type of manifold. I toyed around with building something elaborate but in the end, it fits, it works, and is easy to make. I have the 3" DP supplies on order and they should be here by early next week. I may make the manifold this weekend if I have time. I'm gonna need to buy a clutch too now that I know the tranny is good. Its just a cable LS tranny.
