I went to a car show this past weekend and met some great guys from the Southeastern Grand Prix Assoc. They took pics of my car and added them to the web site. Some of the mods listed were future mods but they were listed as current mods. I have most of them but no the Jeff M. crossover yet. Anyway take a look. http://www.segpa.org/members/r_young.shtml

Thanks

Looks Sweet, VERY CLEAN!. This is exactly what my intake looks like :) except i put a breather on my valve cover so that i would not suck in oily gasses threw my turbo anymore.

Thanks,
I thought the same thing but there dosen't seem to be the 1st hint of oily residue in the intake and some believe alittle vacum pressure is important.
I do have a crank case breather filter from APC if I want to change but this car is still brand new...well sorta. I mean it has only 67K orig miles and those pics don't do it justice.

I saw your post about making an intake and thought, great. He's gone and made what took me forever to find. Not to mention I bought mine and only used 1/4 of the entire contents. It was for a 95 Mitsubishi eclipse cold air intake. I only used 1 small section,  but it was a bolt on application.No cutting at all. Sounds like you made the same thing for probably alot less.

Keep it up, I'm waiting on the down pipe results. I'll be your 1st customer for one.

pull your intake to TB hose and look at the throttle plate.  oil will build up there if you got the intake sucking from the pcv (give it some time).  I just slapped a filter on mine.  I did though put the pcv on the rear valve cover.  Your engine bay looks scweeet and clean.

what your saying makes sense but doesn't make sense :?:   If your pcv holds pressure and then releases at a preset value/internal spring pressure (what ever it uses) then not using the pcv will give you no internal pressure.   This is my 3rd turbo car, and a bunch of n/a built up cars and I never had a problem.  So who knows.  IMO pcv is just some emmissions BS!

Let me price it out. that one on my car is just plain alluminized steel. I can powdercoat it any color. I was thinking of doing mine in Black Chrome.. but not i might do gold to match the rest of the car i am not sure yet.

Let me price it out and get back to you guys on what your looking at Cost wise.

I include powdercoating in the price of my intakes. I can leave it raw alluminized steel if your going to paint it.
