Default I dont understand that at all.....

If you run it that way you really need to have a spring matched to the amount of boost that you're creating so you dont have any leaks.

Default No pic but it is fairly easy to see which is which. You want the end directly opposite the small vac

hose to be in the hose that runs up to the intake hose. This puts the bottom of the diaphram away from the boost pressure and the side port (side of the diaphram) toward the boost pressure.

Default Depending on the boost pressure you can either blow it open or tear the diaphram if you have boost

against the bottom of the diaphram.

so either way it would fail? i had a friend help me put one in at the end of last year never thought of what direction it should go, but i have a boost gauge and still have full boost so i'm assuming its correct.

Likely it is but how much boost you run and how hard/how often you push it will influence it's life

Alright, got it. I'll do it this weekend and if there's still a problem I'll go Bailey's.
