well here we are, I started just to ensure fuel pressure and to check for leaks but before I can drive it I have to find a way to connect the mass air meter to the TB and fab an air intake. Any help finding 4 1/2 aluminum pipe, silicone adapters, and a larger mass air meter would be a big help. On the pics below for give some of the ghetto fabing but it works for now.
The first pic is the return line

to my understanding it does not matter. Alot of guys are not y-ing the lines but I seen another member who did it and I think it would be better
