HELP with SC install !!!!!

yea its idling where its supposed to, but just really rough.
It may be my brake booster hose. I notice the vacuum may be leaking from there. Cuz when i have my foot on the brake, and i turn off the car it slowly loses air and moves back up. If im reading the haynes manual right, the brake booster is leaking somewhere.

He's following the same vaccume line setup as i have it right now. The one before the EBC came out.

im gonna probably be checking on the gaskets.
The gaskets should be the same from the intake manifold and the TB right??

omg i just realized when looking at my engine i put the intake manifold gasket in wrong..
hopefully when i fix it everything will be solved..

nvm i guess there were lil parts that do stick out on the gasket. I thought i had it on wrong. well anyway i have everything off again. I think im just gonna switch out all the gaskets and see if it helps.

how would u know if u needed to replace them anyway>?

and what happens if one of the ground wires in the back of the supercharger isnt hooked up. I lost the bolt to it somehow and have to wait til tomorrow to get one.

could a dirty maf cause a rough idle?
when u get the cleaner do u just spray into that black thing that goes into the intake right?

w000t.. its alive and kickin...

i dunno what i did.. but i redid the installation minus the belt and the plate.
and i changed the pcv valve. But once i got it started, everything was working fine

things were definitely a lot easier the 2nd time. And i was more tentative. I didnt even need the install manual. Just referenced the torque specs and that was pretty much it

and thanks to all those who have helped

up next ...
headers, 3inch exhaust, supra injectors, and tune...

congratulations on the 'fix'. can't wait to hear or see some clips of the ride.

ok so... its not quite there yet....
its definitely running smoothly. No rough idle or anything. But i am still pulling CELs: insufficient EGR flow and Lean code. Im gonna check it out again this weekend.

I may have to get a new set of hoses as some of them seem to be a little bigger than it should be. I just ziptied them on the ends to get'em as airtight as i could.

i just got my tunable maf from cpe. If its not working properly, could that be pulling a lean code?

As for the egr, ill try to clean it out and mess with the egr valve and hope that fixes it.

and could malfunctioning sensors be a possibilty? as in o2 sensors or egr sensors (if there is one) ?

and i suppose it wouldnt be smart to get a tune even if it were still running smoothly??

isnt the supercharger EGR tube a little bigger diameter than the oem one? do you think that would effect it?
