From what I've heard from some other Mustang guys, Tmoss knows his stuff.

The only part that may look odd is the spacer between the EGR spacer and the manifold. Had to fabricate that for the throttle body to clear the hood. The cold air induction exits out to the right fender well. Hope that helps. The manifold and throttle body are after market but basically setup the same way as OEM stuff. Good luck, WEK. :cool:

FYI, if you are running boosted brakes, DO NOT "T" anything off that line, in fact, the original setup runs off of 2 manifold vaccuum ports.
And definitely do not "T" it to the PCV. (it makes sense now, but at the time it seemed logical, wouldn't a T in the line do the same thing as 2 vaccuum ports??)
(Don't ask me how I know.... Brake booster going out? (http://www.ffcars.com/forums/17-factory-five-roadsters/345282-brake-booster-going-out.html)
WOW! that diagram has a LOT of vaccuum! All I have is Brake Booster, PCV, and Fuel Pressure Regulator.
