help cant install fusion retro
just bought a b&b fusion retro for my C6 08. the first problem I have is there is no vacuum port behind the left or right bank coil packs. It seems that bowling Green changed the vacuum system they take vacuum from the intake manifold and according to the manual you have to remove the intake to get at this quick disconnect that's behind the intake. You can't get your hand behind the the manifold to even check to see if it's there.
beside I'll be damned if I'm going to take a brand new engine w/ 700mi apart.
any help anyone can give me as to where I can get vacuum would be great.
Thanks,
Mike

I'm in the middle of putting a full Z06 system on my C6 vert, LG headers, 3" pipes and take-off Z06 mufflers. I'm using his NPP in a box for my setup. All the parts came off today, the new stuff all goes on tomorrow.

I have a set of the B B Fusions on my C6, the M2W from Ed works great
no problems at all!!!!!!!!!
I have it set up to start open and I control it with a remote, came with the kit.
Good Luck

Obviously if it works the NPP it would work the B&B since they both use the same vacuum source (the motor), NPP in a box produces the same vacuum the motor does.

Easiest way might be to use Pipedreams NPP In A Box, I think it works with the B&B system. www.nakidparts.com

I'm using Ed's NPP in a box to control my Z06 system - works great!
