I have no photos available but the best thing to do, IMO, is to locate the jet-air and OMP nozzle vent hoses after the MAF sensor, before the throttle body, with one-way check valves to assure airflow toward the nozzles and checked against reverse-flow. I believe this is what Pettit also proscribes in their installation manual as well. (Not sure what they say about check-valves)
The reason why I wanted some photos is to help me being sure what I take for the jetair and metering vavles are actually the good one ; I don't wan't to do what I did with the BARO
so if please someone can do some photos (or videos) of there installation (specially the jet air and metering vavle...) ...It would be usefull...

OK, so I took a photo ... can you locate the jet air and Metering valves on this picture ?
because looking at Cam's graphic, they might be somewhere there ?!

The vacuum connection is on the rear side of the "distribution block" for the little oil injection lines.
The Circle (?) on the bottom shows the area for the Jet Air nozzle vacuum connection (1/4 inch ID line?) , this is a pipe-hose-pipe route that runs down to the bottom of the lower intake center two ports. It is also hard to get to; the other side of this pipe goes to a rubber hose that then connects to another pipe that goes into the to Jet Air nozzles. The pipe has a connection to the intake manifold bolt to hold the pipe in place.
Yes, the picture is blurry, but these two places are really far down.

Yeh, the hose going to the OMP is located on the top of the engine and hard to see. Its easy to knock it off the engine during the instal causing the Jet air to pull uneeded air. Its hard to check if you have everything installed. I use the force when checking it but if you dont now exactly were it is its hard to locate. Its going to be one of 3 hoses that you disconected from the rubber section of your stock intake. You only have 2 to worry about since 1 was your crank case breather.

Actually, if you followed the PDF; we know the OMP distribution block has a vacuum connection to the Jet Air, and that those are "tee'd" to connect to the MAF.
The Pettit PDF shows the correct mods to the Jet-Air and OMP hoses.
What the PDF does not show is using hose clamps to attach those hoses, my vacuum hoses kept blowing off under boost.
Use hose clamps or at least good, tight wire ties on all vacuum hoses.

Latest under hood picture
Here is my latest picture.
I seem to have issues with blurring pictures at higher resolution.

Anybody had issues with their air/water pump? Mine started blowing fuses every other day, then just stopped working alltogether.

just google it and all kinks of choices come up
Jmk--i looked at my engine bay an a pic would be of no use
actually you can cap off the jet air line--since our cars idle faster than the stock one it is off little use---so to get it running cap it off.
are you ok with the other vacuum lines?
