the vacuum comes from the inlet manifold just after the throttle body. theres a spare take off pipe that has a rubber cap on, remove this and put the pipe on :grin: throttle on makes positive pressure-recirc valve closed, throttle off makes negative pressure- valve open. Unlike a turbo the s/c is making boost all the time so it has to be done this way or it causes problems.lil_lee said:lovely car and great project coming along well...
thinking about trying this my self, just out of curiosity where does the vacuum pipe from the recirculating valve connect to?

Want to come do my wiring? I hate electrical stuff.
Also how does the dash come out? 3 bolts by windscreen, one on each side and two in the middle or are there some more I have missed, as doesnt want to come out of mine.

I've had a shot of quite a few from v8s to 1.1 screamers. Just like a go-kart. But for a track car I'll take a metal shell wi a fekin roof. Imagine someone tapping you into a spin at 120 and hittin the barrier or tyres in one of those things, Winter track days or lashing down rain, really? Lol. up to you obviously but the puma being fiesta based makes it the perfect little car to track. Fancy parts are easily available and reasonably priced, so upgrade as you go and realise that you'll never get all that money back. Just a whole load of fun
So any thoughts on the evap system? Obviously I've not tried it yet, hoping it's not going to affect the ecu giving me problems again. The other option would be to do away with the fuel breather and connect the evap valve to the new tank, but I hope this isn't nessecary.
