Default magnuson install help

Hey guys I need some help. Can anyone send some pics of the coolant and vac lines for the Maggie? I think I am close but want to double check. The manual isn't too clear on these.

In looking at the install manual it looks like the small hose that used to connect to the rear of the manifold uses a T connection to the Black bypass actuator. Is that correct?

Appreciate any help!

(assuming you have either 112 or 122 Maggie)

The bypass actuator is connected to s/c right after the throttle body with it's own hose without any T-fitting.
Brake booster is also connected near t/b with it's own line. The right side of s/c has breather connections.

Plenum after the s/c has 2 fittings, one for MAP and one for all other vacuum related things (incl. vacuum canister).

That's what I originally did but don't have a hookup for the line coming from the rear. Any pics or more details? Sounds like you know exactly what I'm trying to do.

Same thing for coolant lines.. does the one from radiator connect to the passenger side of tb? Then I thought the new line attached to the engine connected to the drivers side of the tb? Promise I will take pictures next time!! Haha..

The for the help!

Well this is hard without pics but I'll try:

Coolant:
Throttle body coolant circulation (if used) connects the other hose from right side cylinder head (small fitting). The same fitting is used to connect both cylinder heads together with small pipe. This is for getting air/steam out of cylinder head cooling pockets.
The other coolant hose from t/b connects to radiator.

If you don't use coolant circulation in t/b, just connect the hose from radiator directly to righ side head fitting and leave the t/b intact.

Vacuum before s/c:
*One big hose from left side of the t/b (after the t/b) to brake booster 90 degree fitting/valve.
*One smaller hose from same area to fuel evaporation system
*One small hose to bypass actuator

Vacuum/boost after the s/c:
*MAP sensor in rear right corner of plenum cover
*vacuum line to aircon actuators/vacuum canister at rear left of plenum cover (you can use this one with T-fitting for boost gauge and/or boost controlled fuel pressure regulator (if used).

Breather:
*One hose from intake pipe before t/b to right side valve cover
*one hose from valve cover to PCV-valve (this valve is 'grounded' to right side cylinder head to keep it from freezing) and from PCV-valve to right side of s/c (underneath).
