Removing braided line off valve cover?
Yeah it was very clean in there when I looked around but I had bought the can already and saw it as a challenge so I did it. Tie wrap trick made it easy. Someday I'll get a PC'd valve cover too, built motor maybe, we'll see if/when ZZP releases their EFR turbo.
The one that goes to the turbo, once you undo the bolt thats it. Its like a nipple on a piece of metal on the turbo. Once its out ur done with that part. The valve cover to intake line can sometimes be taken off with these...

I believe they are called like fuel line disconnect tools. I had no luck with these. Some people do. I ended up cutting it off and buying a new braided line

Yeah the 3/8th's inch fuel line disconnect tool is what you want .. Push it in while pushing the fitting towards the tool and then pull it off.. Wont fit in the turbo line tho.
The valve cover breather hose to the turbo should just be modified using a dremel cutting off the stem about an inch away ( pry off old hose )
That way every time you need to access the valve cover you aren't spending 40 dollars on a hose ...
I was able to get mine of by prying it off the valve cover side and then refitting the tabs and putting it back on..
It's hard tho.

I had a really hard time getting mine out. Wiggling and pulling at the same time until it eventually gave. I thought for sure it was caught on something because at first it moved a bit easily, I guess it was the o-ring squirming around. Putting it back in was a bit tricky too.
So if I as to remove the pcv line and leave the line for the turbo connected, paint my valve cover and then bake in the oven, how high of a temp can that braided line take? I would like to bake it around 550F, I am guessing it won't take more than 250F before damaging the line.
Hello,
ref item #22 above (pictures with red intakes) I would like to know the part number or where I could get the fitting that is connected to the PCV valve in the pictures above. Or any fitting to convert to a rubber hose please. I understand the side connected to the PCV is a "quick-loK" connection if I am not mistaking. thanks!
