uhhh... boost not doing it for me....

So, I took off my intake boot to clean my TB (ordred a PCV kit for it last night) and put everything back togheter.. Well i thought i did.. It was covered in my previous post. Anyway, I got a "service engine soon" light today. It seemed to be driving ok though. The tube in question though from my other post (which is connected one end into the intake boot, and the other into nothing) has a green sticker with the ford emblem on it and "XL-3V-6758-AA" Anyone know if thats supposed to connect to something? But even without the service engine light, I noticed that the motor under WOT and 3/4 throttle doesn't build boost like my 01 did. It wouldn't even register at 8lbs on the guage until 4500ish RPM. Is something wrong? or do i just need to chip/pulley it? Thanks

A little birdy told me it goes here

You can see both connections in this picture
Closest to you is obviously the connection into the Rubber Boot



And this here is the connection YOUR MISSING
(I made it bright so you can see it)

thanks for the pics rob. but I checked those connections and they were fine. My question is where does this pipe go? does it attach to anything at the other end (not the intake boot?)

That attaches to the Driver's Side Valve Cover
If you need a pic, let me know
I HAVE NO LIFE



(mines a little dif looking cause I have the Lightning Enterprise PCV on the Driver's side, you won't, BUT THATS WHERE IT GOES

This here is also a old shot, pay no attention to the BS
and again you wont have the check valve, but notice the elbow,
tube, and where it goes in.....
Hope this helps (made it lighter)
