New Vacuum Pump Kit installed.
I just got the new C5 vac pump kit from GZ Motorsports. I don't have any dyno results or anything yet, but at least I don't have to worry about oil in the intake anymore. Install was cake. Hardest part is to figure out how to plumb the pump to the crankcase.
I'm not affiliated with GZ in anyway, just wanted to spread the word on a great new kit that's available.

MR Lucky, How is your pump connected to the crank case?
The outlet fitting on mine is pretty hard to get to, but I don't think I'll have to mess with it often enough to worry about it.

The connections (from memory) are as follows.
suck = passenger-side valve cover
blow = catch can
The third connection from the catch can vents to the nipple on the FAST (hidden from view under the fuel rail cover).

Looks like the kit A&A was selling awhile back....
How much are they selling it for out of curiosity? Let us know if you try it out on the dyno....would like to see some more independent results.
Thanks,
Tony

The kit is $689.
I just got HP tuners and am tuning my car for a new cam and the 90/90 setup. Hopefully I'll make it to the dyno in a week or two. After I get my tune dialed in, I'll take the belt off the pump for a pull.
