Figured I might as well snap a pic of my xmember clearance. Always see it from up top but never from underneath...

Thanks. Im actually thinking of selling it but your vote may be the one to tip the scales into me keeping it.

AIC? You mean IAC right? And yeah, its where its supposed to be routed to again. I half@ssed though: Instead of drilling in a new nipple to hook the IACV adapter to, I just used an unused vac line off of the TB. If it works, then Ill leave it. If not, then yeah Ill have to put a nipple in. The vac line from the TB is super tiny compared to the 1/2" from the IACV adapter. I just jammed that little sucker in since I broke the universal plastic coupler I originally had

You can make a hole in the power rod cover, put a nipple, and hook up a hose from the iac to the power rod cover.

Are you 00vi'd? It only fits the VI.

Nah I dont want to do it there. Theres a hole I plugged up thats on the IM right behind the TB. I might do it there. Id rather drill through composite plastic than aluminized steel (if thats what the bloockoff is made out of).

Snap some pics of your setup if you can and point out which coupler comes loose.
