Surge valve

First, thanks to all who have helped so far. I have one more question now. I'm ready to hook up the surge valve but can't seem to find it. I have the vacuum line and plastic tee, I see the metal bung on the bottom of the boot that fits on the air intake of the blower and the bung on the intercooler tube. Where the $&%k is the valve? Am I missing something? Thanks,

You should have received a sealed plastic bag with an aluminum/plastic surge valve, about three feet of 1-1/2" hose (black with a bright red longitudinal stripe), vacuum line and a tee. Check your inventory sheet to see if these items were included.

Did you figure out how to rotate the head unit's housing?

Willie, I was able to "clock" the back of the head unit to fit into my engine compartment. Before you told me what to take a look at I was thinking I was going to have beat the sH*t out of my fenderwell with a hammer. haha. I looked at the inventory sheet and searched my garage but wasn't able to find the surge valve. I spoke with ATI and they described a part that I have never seen so they are going to send one to me next day air at no charge. 8) While they're instruction manuals stink they're tech and customer service rule. Thanks to you again as well. Once this beast is done I'll post some new pics and dyno sheets.
