Re: ati surge valve

MAF cars have to go back into the inlet of the blower if they are a draw-through.

Re: ati surge valve

I vent mine to the atmosphere... I actually put a K#N filter on it to keep it quiet and plugged the part on the intake for the s/charger...Sounds like yours is like mine and most of them-not a draw-through...

Re: ati surge valve

Unless you have your MAF before the blower, you can vent your surge valve to atmosphere. There is no right or wrong direction with the surge valve.

Re: ati surge valve

I don't think there is a right/wrong way to install it.. Just hook the vacuum line up and go... KS91z28 directed me on my surge line and it worked perfect!
