NOS5177 purge? I bought a NOS5177 kit off a guy on this site, and I'm curious to know why there are two solenoids one right after the other? The way its wired up already, leaves no room for a purge setup. Any opinions, advise or info? Thanks

I just got a 5177 setup that came with the purge on it, it was before the 2 soldenoids. I dont know jack about it and I havent hooked it up yet but thats the way its set up and he was using it before so I guess it works?

The line with blue fitting is main fom bottle, purge is the dyno tune noid and two NOS noids are redundant for safety. Is a 5177 on '97 vette. Many more pics in my web on 5177. And in links is install link and install video and much more concerning the 5177.

So basically with the 5177 kit I need to get a purge solenoid. I noticed that a purge setup like the dynotune comes w/plastic tubing....any way to use copper tubing instead? Maybe dynotune will chime in? 
Also with my system I got a 15lb bottle, but what type of connection do I need to run off the bottle to hookup a blowdown tube? Where can I get?

You don't even need a purge unless your really into the drag thing, or the bling, bling factor. Now, you can use copper tube, ss tube, plastic tube or run braided ss teflon lined hose, your choice. I choose the ss braid because of the looks factor. There has been some recent threads on the purge thing with some good info/insight.

Most folks use the plastic tubing as its so soimple to route and affordable. The next stage is the stainless tubing we sell thats 12" long. The best is what robert uses, full braided lines off the purge. All the parts are on our page for like $8 to convert to a stainless line 12" long. With the 12" you limited in mounting options...

Yea, my noids are mounted on the front of the car (in front of the radiator). I plan on just running the purge about 6-8" to the nose of the WS6 hood.
