Installed the K&N CAI on my 05 TB today. Only problem we ran into was that on the instructions step #5 says to "Remove the vacuum hose from the fuel pressure regulator and from the resonator as shown." There was no vacuum hose hooked to the resonator nor was there any where for one of these to go.
Has anyone else installed the CAI on an 05 TB LS and ran across this issue? When you get to the end you have an open vent on the K&N intake tube.
In the pics with the K&N put on you'll see an open vent sticking out.
i beleieve those hose was at the lower right corner of the big black resonator on the bottem part of it... if i can remeber correctly... so check the bottem of the resonator and see if u have a small maybe 2 inch tube sticking outta there and then look in that same spot on the engine... sorry i know its hard to explain with out a proper pic sorry
In your first picture the cord for your drop light it about 4 inches to the right of the fuel pressure regulator.
In this picture BLKON20 ran it into the intake from the regulator maybe yours is already run this way?
I reuploaded the 3rd picture to show the vent I'm talking about. It doesn't look like your pic and mine are referring to the same thing? Or the vent on that intake is different than mine?
Your hose should go from the intake to the regulator (skinny line) My regulator has a blue/green dot on it. this picture is from the drivers side. You line may goto the capped fitting on the intake(the nub)
I couldn't find the fuel regulator line on my 05 either. My instructions said "if you have one and my kit had a plug to use if it wasn't there. I'm gonna go look again cuase I've got a feeling it could be a bad thing if theres one there and i missed it, but I sure couldnt find one.

Ugh. Mine didn't have a cap with it. So the vent is sitting open. I wonder where I can get a cap. It didn't say "If" either. Guess I'll have to wait for K&N to get back to me.
Just curious, what was the model number on your intake kit if you also have an 05?
You should be fine just cap the intake fitting then.(1/4" caps) The 05 may use something newer. as long as all the lines on the old intake are hooked up or capped.
Most of the things sticking out of the intake manifold are capped. I've got a line that goes to the EGR valve behind the A/C compressor. The fat hose from the intake goes to the breather like in the pics and the tiny hose connects to that metal thing right infront of the intake manifold :yes:
