Default FAST hardware kit Question

I just got my hardware kit in for my FAST intake and TB. There is this 1 odd screw, that looks like a little sheetmetal screw, and I have no clue where it goes There are no instructions with the kit. Also, there is an empty hole on the passenger side of the TB where the stock one had a tube coming out of it to hook a vacuum line to the valve cover, I believe it was? Do I have to pull the one out of my stock TB and reuse it?

I believe the sheetmetal screw is for the EGR for those that use one.

Ahhhhh, that would explain the self tapping threads....
Your the man!!!

Now I just have to try and get the MAP sensor to seal because it fits very sloppy. I figure some black silicone permatex should seal it up.



How about the hole where the tube comes out the side? Has anyone had to swap over there 90* elbow tubes?

What TB are you using? You shouldn't have to swap over the tubes. If it is one of mine I will get an elbow sent to you.

I agree, use the black silicone for the MAP sensor, that's what I did as well.

I have a NW TB that came with the elbow. Like Nick said, if it's one of his, you need an elbow. If it's a FAST TB and memory serves me, it didn't come with an elbow or even a provision for it. I think people were just plugging the valve cover were the tube came out, but I'm not sure.
