So it was just because of the low mileage that everything looked so nice. Gotcha, cause I know I had a lot of carbon/gunk built up throughout my intake, and the ports on the heads were relatively dirty.

What exactly is a pvc system? I am under the impression that it has something to do with emissions, but I really don't know what/how/or why.

No I promise if you put 8K on your car with a new motor with the PVC hooked up it will not look like that.

I didn't use that I just used a hose clamp.

Well the Accufab Special 96-98 single blade oval throttle body showed up, and so did the stock cobra tb I was going to use. I also received the little clip that TFS forgot. As soon as it warms back up I will gwt back at it.

Some more pics lol.




This should let some air in.


Bling bling. (I usually not into shinny stuff lol.)

Well the oval to round 4.5"-4" pipe showed up today a long with a 4" 45* elbow.

Just a little mock up. I think I might be able to find a way to to avoid changing the valve covers.

Looks good so far.

I would probably swap valve covers and use the C&L Cobra tube because I'm a tad OCD about the way things look.

I'm fine with it besides I want it to 4 " until about foot before the Intercooler outlet. So maf faunction will be correct. I might paint it black. Another guy just cut his oil fill tube down and apoxyed the top back of the v cover on his bullit intake.

Holy ****, it's PCV, not PVC! lol, the first time I saw it I just figured it was a typo, but you did it like 10 times.

PCV - Positive crankcase ventilation
PVC - Polyvinyl chloride (the white plumbing pipes).

Just had to chime in with that.
