You can't really install a diverter valve the wrong way. As long as there's a good vacuum source connected to the smaller nipple, it should work right.

So your telling me it doesn't matter which end goes which way? That vacuum hose might in fact be the problem. I'll have to recheck it tomorrow morning. Didn't look like it was in the best of shape.

Since you're installing a piston style DV, it should be installed reversed compared to the OEM diaphragm DV.

The bottom of the piston should be seeing positive boost, not the top of the piston.

wha?? ok.

Once again, I also missed this thread on Dirverter/Blow Off valve Info. I know I've had the car for two years now and been on the forum for awhile, I should of known better.
