Not yet! I'm hoping to finish in the next week. I had a hard time locating the 3/8" one way valve. That's the secret to the "Tee". I couldn't find one for a USA car. Dorman only makes a 1/8 x 1/4" valve. So I located one from VW and Mercedes. They call it a brake booster check valve. I got one from a salvage vehicle. I checked it and it works just fine. As soon as I'm done, I post the results. The photo doesn't show the shut off solenoid/valve, but it will cycle the pump off when the canister is full. With my flow masters, I will probably only hear the pump at a stop.
