whats this used for?

thank you.......... you just saved me about 20 bucks........

to fine tune the sfmu. Yeah a drive through parts store would be badass. But i think the problem is that you would be going to the store for parts to fix your car that may or may not run! }(

Yeah, you'd need to allow walk-up service man.

this thing is going to work like a bleed valve frmo vortech?????

Thanks but I just got raped. Bought mine on 3/21/03 for $31.78 with shipping from Vortech. I'll have to remeber for future reference. Thanks.

hey thanks for the info! i am putting together a kit, and was curious... thanks for the hookup! and yes, i thought about those warm, saturdays, when you are cruising around, with money to blow, and you would have a huge walmart like performance place, drive thru, so you could order what you want like a burger joint, and drive thru and be done...;)

:thumbsup

dude... i just went to order it... it said 4.95 for it, 4.78 for shipping, and 10.00 for handeling making it 19.73...???WTF

am i midding something here? maybe i overlooked something... thats a little ludacris....

hahahah no shit! i didnt even look that far into it! Jeez.

No i dunno how to hook that check valve up to the bleed. I guess i could find a nipple that will go into that end to hook it up. Anyone know where i could find one?

shit. i JUST ordered the bleed valve from vortech THIS WEEK. argh.

yeah these assholes want more for shipping then the valve is and also want a 10 dollar handleing fee... for what? it's the size of a dime... what's so hard to handle.....

yeah thats bullshit. but now that we know what it is mabye someone could find it cheaper somewhere else. hrmmm

That check valve is used to prevent a vacuum leak at that valve. It allows the valve to bleed off boost, but doesnt allow air back into the valve when the car is in vacuum. You can buy that check valve at autozone and advance auto. Its pretty small and is 1/2 white and 1/2 black.

you need the certain thread... not any needle valve will work it gotta have the right thread.... and that valve only allow bleed off... the vacuum valve that you add prevents anything from going back in....

I was justlooking at my check valve and it is exactly the same as above. Also air travel both ways through the valve. It will suck air back into the SFMU. I didn't think air would be able to be sucked back in unless there is a one way valve in the vortech and this item is simply just for bleeding off boost as desired(?).

O.k. first off I know this post is over 4 years old, but I was looking around for a check valve for the sfmu bleed valve setup and found that the one from clippard is the cheapest(even with the s/h charges). Is that all that is needed for the bleed valve setup or does something need to be screwed into the check valves other 10-32 port so nothing is sucked in during vacuum? Need help asap so I can get this together on my daily.

Anyone???

You need the small check valve so you don't have a vaccume leak.

i used to sell them on here for 15 . i needed one and found that shipping from clippard came to 20.00 so i bought 5 of them and shipping was the same . all in all i made the money in shipping back and helped a few 2gnt'ers at the same time . Also boostedeclipse you need a 10/32'' barb fitting thats not included in clippards price . then you need a fishtank hose and checkvalve from a pet store .
