The system Al explained would still work better even on a SC set up. He's still hasnt tested it much but after I hear back he or I can discuss further.

Glad we still have people in the community that have the know how to try new things and benefit everyone. For the most part I feel like innovation is done with ecotecs

Mine is just an "add-on" to powell's kit for lsj-t's. I suppose it could be used sc as well if you were willing to drill a hole in your blower.
The one he has now is very nice and works very well.

Sadly not much of an update but I got all my small pieces missing to finish everything up. Dump tube, new hid's and valve cover and a few loose ends will be installed in the next couple days then I'm pretty much ready for fire up. I was so torn which way to go with my new valve cover since I'm changing my catch can set up. After some looking I actually decided to plasti dip it. Used black then used their copper metalizer and it made a matte bronze. I absolutely love the look and impressed how smooth it lays down. When the light hits it it really pops as you can see in the crappy cell pic. Gets darker with less light. Something different for now.

I want new wheels in the worst way. Ideal wheels I want, Works Emotion CR KAI's in matte bronze. The things I hate, hub swap needed and expensive. Would love to "settle" with some PF01's silver and plasti dip em the same color but finding used will never happen and new is currently out of the budget

Sorry I didn't mean settle in a bad way lol. I guess I've just been so dead set on those works wheels. I love em. And the matte bronze. I just got a text from 574. I may get some new wheels after all

. We will see.

Edit: Yaaaaa I just bought a set of black PF01's wrapped in Dunlop DZ 101 tires off of Reduff99. Too good of a deal not to buy them! I have a problem lol.

I got the car back in the shop! Was a productive day today! Swapped my new valve cover in and hooked up my oil separator set up. I'm going to try and see how the car works on the stock set up with just an oil separator in between. If I push my dipstick then I'll go arm's set up. This was just the easiest set up for the moment. I mounted my can to the fan shroud. Tucked up and out of the way for a clean install.

Got my new hid's and headlights back in. I mocked up my dump tube, I just have to get the flange welded on. After that just fill up with fluids and fire it up!

I hate the way my intake filter looks. Clean engine bay with a beat up filter. Does anyone know the part # ZZP uses? I can measure it to see what I need just thought someone may know the #.
