Re: EG33 Hard Start
I have had the same issue on my 05 Chevy Suburban. I know apples and oranges but hear me out.

Should be threaded bosses on top of the intake facing the transmission. (Fwd in aft engine van) brake booster should be run separate in my opinion. It also needs a check valve inline so as not to feed
