Stage III owners.....

Did your stage III package include a new B.P.V. and an installation manual? My shop was sitting around all day scratchin' their heads. Oh yeah, and the hose that the BPV attaches to isn't the same blue one in the pic on the website, did they change it?
TIA

Frankly, if your 'shop' is scratching their heads, I'd be a little concerned. While a Stage III

install has a lot of steps, it isn't very complicated.
I can fwd you a rudimentary install pdf for the nDBW if you'd like.

Yes I did.

I wouldn't use silicone hose in place of vac line .. especially for the intake to BPV line. Silicone is too easily cut by things sharp AND by the edges of hose clamps. Silicone also crimps too easily if bent sharply. Just by good ol 'merican 5/32" ID vacuum hose from an autoparts store and you'll be good to go. I also keep a few feet of 1/4" ID vac hose for those few runs that use 6mm OEM.
