Say fellas I have a few quick questions for those radix guys out there. Question one is about the pcv valve. Mine doesn't have anything on top of it. I thought it has a hose going somewhere on it, but I can't remember. I will attach a pic to show ya what im talking about. Second question is I installed the 3" pulley on my radix last night. I am only getting about 6psi of boost. I was getting 4.5-5psi with the 3.33 pulley. I know boost is only a measure of resistance, but I figured a drop in .3 would net me more than 1.5psi of boost. I have long tube headers, high flow cats, and a magnaflow muffler, so I have free flowing exhaust. I was gonna measure the new pulley in case they sent me the wrong one, but I can't find my damn tape measure. Just curious if I am doing something wrong here, or thats normal on a LQ9 6.0 Will attach pic of pcv valve Thanks for the help,
Sam

Should be a hose from the valve cover nipple to the back of the blower j-tube.

Not sure exactly how much the .33 smaller pulley would be good for on a 6.0, but I would guess an extra 2 psi if at the same ambient temp and altitude.

Theres no hose, I dunno if it was never put on or it came off or what. I will go look on the back of the J tube and see if its possibly still connected there. Thanks man

Ok it seems there are two outlets on the back of the J tube. The left one has something connected to it and the right outlet has a cover over it. I took the little rubber cover off and it looks like the same connector as the pcv valve. Looks like I will just find me some hose and run a hose. I have some extra hose off my trans cooler I didnt use mabye that will work.

Ditto on the breather hose to the rear of the J-tube.
Pulley is not marked with size? I would think you'd be up ~8lbs with 3" pulley. Did you swap belts?

Nah its not marked. I guess the ones you get from tbyrne arent marked. I measured it with a tape and it appears to be 3". Yeah I got a new gatorback belt for it. No slipping issues whatsoever. I dunno, mabye because its so damn hot down here and I have long tubes and high flow cats with a high flow magnaflow muffler. When the truck cools down im gonna go put that breather hose on, just got done getting it tuned with allen nelson. Runs GOOD now. Will spin in 4wd on the street from a 30 punch or below. Im hitting around 6psi or so.
