On the drivers side you see 2-3 tubes coming from the front portion of the blower (I did not realize it was a SLP unit..TVS makes a ton of different brands blowers) where a fat one is on the top, runs to the power brake booster, and smaller ones below? One of them, it appears the lowest one, will run to a brab on the rear of your drivers side valve cover. Trace it to make sure but in the picture it appears to be the lowest. You will remove that line and from the rear of the drivers side valve cover, run a line to the center of the RX can. The barb you pulled that off of then runs to one of the outer fittings on the RX can.

Then, the other outer fitting on the RX can will attache to the barb you see just in front of the throttle body (it now has a clamp on it and that line runs to the inner front of the passenger side valve cover). Then, on final step (and you may not have enough hose for this, so if you need more, only use automatic trans mission line and NOT fuel line for the stiffness needed), add another fitting (we should have included one, but if not from any hardware store get a 1/4 NPT male x 3/8" barb and drill in a 3/8" hole in front of the existing barb that is molded in and we are using now to one outer fitting on the can) into the main air intake tube (big plastic tube) 3-4" further toward the air box and then the line that did run from the passenger side valve cover inner front will attache to the new fitting. Then your all set.

It sounds complicated but will be the best solution for your setup available period.

Here is what the barb will look like:

So, looking at your picture from the passenger side, the line from the inner front of the passenger side valve cover needs to draw air from closer to the MAF sensor (which is right after your air bow (where the air filter is). Best is app 1/2 way between the end that connects to the throttle body and the MAF sensor. This way the suction present closer to the MAF does not over power the ability for the clean side air to flow into the crankcase. When to close to the TB as SLP does it, as every 1" you travel from the throttle body the measurable amount of vacuum/suction decreases as you near the air filter, and it is critical for the clean side to be able to allow filtered, metered air in at all times, and the secondary outlet of the RX can to always realize suction/vacuum when at WOT to maintain proper evacuation.

Let me know if this clears it up.....and ask more questions if not. Also, feel free to post this in your thread for others.

Best Regards,

Tracy
This is correctly explained. Tracy at RX has been doing this for a long time and he understands this set-up.
