It's no show car, I don't have enough $ to dump into a professional paint job for a car I'm just going to drive hard. But when I tell people how I painted it, they don't believe me sometimes lol.[/img]

I can't find any good close up pics...

The hole in the middle with the brake lines going through is the same hole I used for everything. Originally that was the hole for the heater core lines, which I removed. Then I enlarged it some, added a gromet around the edge, and fed all the wiring & brake lines thorough.

- Mon Jan 14, 2008 6:41 pm #37586 what about the fusebox within the engine compartment? Was this a pain in the ass?

- Mon Jan 14, 2008 7:29 pm #37594 the fuse box was pretty simple. The wires leave the cabin to go into the bay for the fuse box. So all you are doing is moving it all back inside. You do not have to cut or extend any wires. The battery is now further away though in most cases, since people usually move them to the trunk. So you'll have to get extra power wire.

Where does the other line go from your catch can? One line comes from the head, and shouldn't the other line go back to your intake?

By leaving that nipple on the intake open, would particles and debris potentially get into your IM from there?

Second, Derbo pointed out to me that you're running a line from your VC to the catch can, and then a line back to your crankcase, right Teal?

So you just plugged the nipple on the IM that would lead to the charcoal canister and removed that whole assembly?

If I understand that all correctly, I'm still wondering about the consequences of leaving the nipple on your intake unplugged. :?

KRYSTED please don't try to answer the questions I have for Teal, alright?

I used an oil sandwich adaptor plate since I also need an oil line for the turbo.

You could just use a splitter, here is a great link about the proper way to do that:
