    mimic the l67 setup. MAP is on the back of the blower or wherever you zip tie it. the vacuum line goes from the MAP to the LIM to the FPR. there is one T and two 90* elbows. do not run it to the BBV on the blower. leave that nipple open (the lower).

    that cover it?

    you need a harness for it. did you not buy the "l67 swap kit"? you need a couple sets of wires, mainly that one. it also comes with the BBV wiring, but you dont need that.

    like i said, you dont need the wiring for the BBV. you are running it off vacuum now.

    the connector for the MAP you DO need.

    let the evap just sit there. its ugly, but you can make it look decently if you move a few things around and adjust.

    you need a 2 bar GM map sensor. i dont know what the bonneville came with that is different.

    if the colors arent' the same, the pin descriptions are. Just match them up.

    this is interesting. All the TS's I've seen have had the vacuum to the BCS and the wiring all hooked up. It'll be neat to see a different way of doing it.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    i never had my BBV hooked up to the PCM. its a waste of time for me. i got full boost without hooking it up and thats all i was after. i just had to tune around not being able to dump boost on traction control and a few other conditions.

    Plugs/Wires/Coils/ Dirty ICM? Might try swapping coils to see if that is the issue.

    But the code your throwing is cylinder #1 misfire? Sure your getting fuel? If you are 100% sure on that then you might try a compression test...or a valve could be stuck like there was in my car...had a stuck valve and it misfired for a week or so until it popped itself loose...or you can pull off the VC and beat on the valve spring with a rubber mallet.
