Default help with check valves!!!

I have a 90 CRX with a b18a...its obd1 and i kept the stock crx map sensor. My question is how do i install the check valves...ive seen things on how to install them when the map sensor is on the TB...but mine is on the firewall. Where should the vacuum line come from and go to? And it has one vacuum line on the bottom and one on the side(i think). I also have the one for the b18a...should i install that one? I know this post is retarded but im running off of 4 hours of sleep in 2 days so bare with me. Thanks

Sean

Thanks for that absolutely pointless bit of advice...this is just a temporary solution. Now i would really appreciate some advice that could actually help me. I really need some help here...i want to get this crap finished. It seems like a bunch of little BS is holding me up. Thanks

no need to be an *****...missing link only cost about 60 bucks and works alot better than check valves. you can always turn around and sell it to someone else when you don't need it anymore.

check valve goes between the vacuum source and map sensor. cut the vacuum hose that currently connects them and put a tee in there. run a small piece of vacuum hose on the side of the T left open and connect the check valve to that. repeat as necessary. additional check valves will be parallel to original. good luck

I had a friend that used check valves, and they made his car run like absolute crap. they leaked vacuum really bad. Buy yourself a missing link and save yourself the headache.

Im not trying to be a *****...like i said this is just a temporary solution. I have a missing link but it was broken during shipment. Im just gong to use the check valves until ups replaces it. And i know that $60 isnt alot to some people..but im not made of money and i have lost over $250 on this turbo setup due to bad deals. So please just answer peoples questions instead of telling them to go spend more money...cuz we dont all have the money to throw around. Thanks for the help pengo.

ok, anser is easy, just throw 3 or 4 check valves on the vacumm right before the map sensor on the firewall. i have one on the vacumm line on the throttle and also 4 after the little metal like tube and before the map sensor. it works perfect for me. no leaks, no vacummm problems at all. if you have shitty checkvalves, it will leak, i got them from the older tegg1 tegs and use them in mines, they work really good. just make sure you use tight vacumm lines like the stock ones.
