Because the modifications JapEatr made are not required on the LNF. So I'll ask again why do you want a step by step? If you bought it from John I know Gloria would send you one.

Well if you know how it's routed and how it works then you don't need a how to, it is literally that simple. It's not that it's a secret it's that you are specifically looking to straight up copy Johns design without paying him.

Also it's like a order confirmation email, Gloria handles those.

Honestly if they can't figure it out from your LSJ and how to apply it to an LNF they shouldn't be installing it

how different is it? the intakes on the passenger side rather then the driver and there's no Supercharger in the way? makes it 10x easier

I'd guess it's a little better then the LNF but probably not by much. You won't have the boost to deal with, send John an email he may know how to make his work or can point you in the right direction.

My dad has a 2010 2.4 DI and he wouldn't let me scope it. It had 80k on it and didn't have misfires.

Without the boost I'm sure it's not half as bad.

currently the di ecotecs and v6 di in other platforms are horrible, so no relief. Maybe the C7 LT1 is better GM patented the PCV. I can certainly make them for other ecotecs I am looking at the LDK LHU Buick regal et al...It is a sad state of affairs worse for BMW and Audi and the others as they just charge 1500-3000 to clean the valves every 30,000 kilometers

Yeah I'm scared to look at the intake valves on the A3 my better half drives, with the TSI engine given the transmissions attempts to keep the rpms low for fuel mileage. I need to scope it and clean it, maybe retrofit a separator into the system.

The new Subi's are going to be worse though, given the amount of blow-by for their port injection setup I don't think they've made any serious improvements so for DI they're looking at a worse internval than 30,000

You might be OK. I gave the dealership a golden opportunity to hose me by telling them to check the valves on our tsi tiguan with 70k miles and they said they looked just fine. The intake manifold was already off so I had figured it was the best time to clean them.

If they get worse with boost like the LNF does, I'm pretty sure it will be nasty. The wife loves boost

That's good to hear. My wife's '13 Tig TSI only has 30K on it, and reading this has me worried...
