Need help w/vacuum line routing. M113k
Hey all, I had recently removed my supercharger to change a bad bypass valve. It's all good, but I'm a bit neurotic, and know I routed a vacuum hose "improperly".
It's the hose that connects to a port that points up on the blower snout, on the drivers side. The hose it shaped like an upside-down "U", and the turns down and goes between the blower snout and drivers-side surge tank. I know where it has to go, but just don't know how it's supposed to get there. I believe it goes under the blower somehow toward the front passenger side, but not sure the route it takes.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Just did this repair myself (bypass valve). I'm thinking this is the one 'main' small vacuum hose that traverses from the rear drivers side to the front passenger side? If so it just routes between the supercharger and intercooler, in front of where the lateral intercooler bolts are, and up behind the purge valve on the front pass side.
No brackets or guides, I found mine was nice and insulated for heat so if it's connected at both ends I'd just let it be

Thanks guys. Yup...thats the hose. I had routed it straight back along the passenger side and up to the nipple, as opposed to switching it under the blower and bringing it up on the driver side. I think I'll see if I can snake it under the correct way.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
