Re: What is the proper way to setup a vacuum canister?

On my factory setup it was like this. Manifold vaccun port to the filter, filter to the t-off and t-off to the Booster/ck valve. On my vacc canister it was Manifold vaccum port to the filter, filter to the t-off, t-off to the Canister/ck valve, Canister out to the Booster/ck valve. I didnt have any issues
