RE: bov question

You will need to get a piece welded to your piping.
Some people put it close to the throttle body and others put it closer to the turbo.

RE: bov question

Some of the intercooler piping should be aluminum.
For some Idea's on placing check out cardomain.com in the 740,760 section.
Here is a pic of one on my buddies old car that was built up pretty good.

Hey Tech, that is a sweet intake manifold. Where did your buddy get that or did heFab it himself.

That is sweet. I want one, but not sure if it will pass the"visual" inspectionin California. My dad wont even take the chance of havingthe cone filter on the car when we get it smogged.
