Installation Instructions for Compressor Bypass kit

This kit requires a 7/8th inch hole be drilled into the turbo side of the intercooler housing and a 3/4 NPT tap be used in prep for the supplied brass fitting.

    

The nice thing about the SVO intercooler is it can be disassembled and the core removed. You can then drill and tap without worry of cleaning out metal shavings.

With the Turbo Coupe™ IC you may want to drill the hole in such a way that gravity is on your side. Once the shavings get into the IC fins they can be tricky to get out. Using a vacuum on reverse (if available) to blow through the throttle body side would also help.

If this kit is to be used with an intercooler set up other than stock please advise us to we can adapt the kit accordingly.

Install

Loosen the clamp on flex hose to vane air meter. Attach supplied discharge tube with supplied flex hose to vane air meter and reattach turbo flex hose to discharge tube with small port facing upwards.

Measure and cut 1 inch bypass hose to desired length and secure compressor bypass valve to the discharge tube. Make sure the valve is on its side, with the vacuum line sideways, pointing toward the passenger headlight. Attach the 1” hose to the bypass valve port now facing the IC and attach the other length of 1 inch hose. Cut hose to desired length and secure the other end of the hose to the barbed fitting in the intercooler.

Install supplied vacuum line to the port on the bypass valve. The easiest location to tap into the vacuum system is at the passenger side fire wall when a supply line to the EGR solenoid can be found. There is usually an empty spot on a factory T in this location that leads directly to the main tree in front of the driver. Tighten all clamps and test.
