Default Check valves?
i did a search and I’m still unclear. I’m installing a Huron speed turbo kit on my car and was wondering if I had to put check valves on my hvac lines to keep everything working correctly. I’m deleting my ac but would like to keep my heat working. Any input would be much appreciated. Thank you.

There are some small anti blow-back check valves available from welding supply shops, they keep O2 from going backwards up the Flammable line..

If an 1/8” check valve is needed, look into vw part # 433862117. They are about $7-8 shipped on eBay.
