I hope the pics are good enough to help you get the job done
It's clean and out of the way.

Very nice Daniel

I like the bigger inlet for your Procharger head unit.

Can you tell me where you purchased it from ?



p.s. All your Procharger intercooler mods are great and show a measurable difference.
Whether better cooling or a little more boost coming on faster ,they all work

Great job bro

Bolla, has your setup eliminated 100% of the oil going back through your intake?

Perry ,thanks for the comps, like wise from me
I bought the filter intake from MTI in Houston Tx.
Just give thema call and they will hook you up

Huck , it's to keep any oil blow by out of your intake .

Ill,I would say it has taken care of 95% of it

Looks great, did you replace brass fittings with stainless steel or did it come that way.

Dan, looks good...very clean install.

On a side note - the air filter and duct can also be purchased thru A&A, Andy makes them in-house for the vendors.

Hey Daniel, yeah thats what I was wondering too, on the inlet side of the can housing where did you tap in from? I see you brought the outlet side around the back of the engine and over the VC to a T, one side goes to the air cleaner and where does the other go? Look great and clean as always.

The original hose that was going to the filter ,you run to the catch can and from the catch can you run it back to the filter.
This is the same but now you have the catch can inline to catch the blow by.

Do you think the distance that the oil vapors/vacuum have to travel in your setup will work without any problem of build up in the hose? Have you had a chance to see if there is any oil build up in the can?

Thanks
