What goes here?

[cerebus420]

This should be an easy one for someone

Can tell a hose attaches to the bottom piece...Im guessing vacum but i dont know where its supposed to go to...Stock turbo... any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

(never mind what I wrote before) Its a filter for air to bleed off. Judging by the engine cleaniness (meaning it not a ultra low mileage SyTy), you need new vacuum lines, those are original and your risking ruining your motor.

A small sponge-like filter goes there. I haven't heard of any problems running without it, though.

I'm thinking you should circle the whole damn engine compartment and then I'll say a pressure washer goes there

Jeeze, the engine bay in my daily driven S10 don't look so bad now ...

looks like a custom coolant overflow line since he is running the KB cold air kit.

DAMN

DAMN

Thanks for your help guys..... Ghetosled is correct, blue tube is just coolant overflow, it does have the KB. About the cleanliness of my engine compartment, this Ty sat for about 2 years before I got it. I was going to replace all the vacuum lines and give her a tune-up but after about a month of driving it I got a flat going about 35 that sent me at off the road at a 45 degree agle. Went into the sloped ditch into a field. Broke a bunch of cladding and bent the front bumper. The truck already had a normal s-10 bumper w/aftermarket bumper cover, the radiator support had been changed, and there were no front fender claddings. Havent been driving the TY for 3 months (waiting for tax return). I've just purchased everything I need to get her back to stock. So yeah shes a little dirty under there. It wont hurt anything if I pressure wash it? What do you guys recomend I do to clean it then?

Drove her down the road last night....... Damn did I miss that Whooooooosh of the turbo!

dont be shy with the simple green, full strength. Get a gallon jug from wally world and you will be sparkling in no time. Just spray it on, let it sit for a few minutes and blast away.

It might take a few applications to get it clean and you may have to get in there with a brush or two but it wont attack the rubber or aluminum parts like say Castrol Superclean.

I'd be more worried about the tape on the ac lines then anything, is that just a heat shield type of stuff, or to fix a hole in the system.. :roll:

The Ken Belle Air intake tube was know to chaffe anyhting that it touched, so the electrical tape was thier to be a buffer. I am not sure if that was in the installation instruction because I have seen other trucks w/ electrical tape just like that.

I wondered. Thanks for that info.
