Mounted my vacuum canister today, although I haven't hooked up the plumbing yet. Going to do a "before" test to see if I can engage ice mode then hook up the canister and try it again to see if it helps. Install so far has be super easy. Ideally you want the canister as close to the brake booster as possible but in front of the left front wheel was as close as I could get. Shouldn't be an issue though from my understanding. I just mounted it to the OEM horn mount and zip tied the horn up out of the way. Then its just running vacuum line. There's a factory vacuum hose that runs from the back of the intake manifold to the firewall which eventually leads to the brake booster. Planning on just removing that line and running a line from the manifold to the check valve on the canister then from the canister to the bung on the firewall that leads to the booster. If it all works and I don't screw up the install somehow then the entire install start to finish would have taken probably a collective total of 20 minutes with zero drilling, cutting, or fabrication. If this fixes or greatly reduces ice mode then we should all be very very happy and thank Shamu for being the guinea pig. He has reported zero ice mode since installing his.
