Top swap not making power! Help

Ok I'll have to check it out tomorrow when I go to the shop. I'll take some closer pics of everything. So these lines not being connected correctly can cause me to not get any power from the supercharger AND xp cam?
 


not sure, but either way it dont look right at all. and that alone can hurt performance.

how does it idle, smooth? or just the normal cam chop?
 
Ok I see the T and the line going underneath the snout. I'll have to check it out tomorrow when I go to the shop and I'll take some pics. So these lines can cause me to not get any power out of the supercharger? And more so no power out of the xp cam?
 


Guy from the dyno just called and told me he put on a belt that was ½ inch smaller and rerouted a hose, not sure which one and blocked off the vaccum side of the blower and now has 7lbs of boost with a little spike of 9lbs. 16 degrees of timing. Putting down 240ish HP and 230ish torque. Progress but still low power. Since the vacuum side Is blocked, does that mean the BBV is bad?
 
heres some pics of the vac lines, i just redid mine today.

this was the stock line. the left side went to the T under the sc snout.

Ok stop guys he has a 97 blower with the vac tree so he does not need that line going under the snout to the T. And from looking at the pic the vac tree isnt even hooked up to anything, that might be your problem.

I'll take some pics a little later when I get home. The guy from the dyno shop changed some of the hoses and bypassed some things. Im at school right now. I just picked it up from the dyno shop.

Is the vac tree on top of the supercharger that has 3 spouts coming out of it?

The BBV should not be seeing boost. The BBV should be hooked up to a vac line between the tb and the rotors(like the top of the blower outlets)

The dyno shop plugged this part.

The hose coming off the fuel rail is going to the throttle body.

THis is the By-pass solenoid right? nothing connected and no wiring for it.

Nothing is connected to which i believe is the by pass solenoid. and nothing connected to the back of the BBV which is seen in the pic as well.

This connector is cracked that is going into the throttle body, which one of the hoses coming from it is going to the the fuel rail in the pic above.

I was comparing mine to the diagram and I realize where everything needs to go, but my problem is that I don't have an electrical piece to go into the bypass solenoid. Will that matter?
