Okay, yeah. I'm just gonna get a breather for the valve cover and that hose goes to the blower. I just need to get a little piece of tubing for the BPV

So just do the normal thing and connect it with a piece of tube to the intake?

I had made my own with a how to I found somewhere but I recently got tired of having to empty it often so I bought a mpx catch can.

Plug the SC holes, make it louder. (;

I thought about doing that. But it would be silly to risk having the quiksteel fall out.

Anyone running the ZZP stage 3 heat exchanger or the OTTP stage 1 exchanger? OTTs is bigger than ZZPs but anyone have any personal reviews?

im running ZZP s3 and a dual pass intercooler. Intake temps about 25-30 degrees above outside air. and less than 120 at WOT for the most part unless im doing a ton of pulls. seems to do fine. Going to run an LSJ intercooler in line with it also, but i haven't installed it yet.

i have a catch can. Follow the hose off the valve cover and you'll see it hiding back there. It's black. Between fuse box and motor.

keeps oil blow out from crank case out of your supercharger and intake manifold. It will pool in the manifold without it.

I did notice a but of oily crap on intake parts. Perhaps I'll pick up this catch can. Then I'll need to plug the opening on my intake.

I heard from someone that you can see the coolant moving in the surge tank. Is this true? I don't see anything happening when I pop the cap.

the catch can has an in and an out. so the hose goes to the can then from the can to the intake. so you dont need to plug it. The coolant in your option b tank or your cars regular coolant?

On the LSJ tb, there is a forward facing brass connection. What do I hook up to this? Currently, I just have it capped off. Once I installed the new tb, and changed the scalar in hpt, I started my car and it ran like hell.

Popped the hood and heard some gnarly hissing coming from that port. No idea what connects to it, so I just capped it. Seems to be running ok, except for throwing p0106 often. P0106 is throttle position sensor code. Perhaps I have a vac line that isn't hooked up right now and it's just chilling somewhere in the engine bay?

Do you have a build thread? I did a search and can't find one. This is pretty close to what I want to do to my LE5. I just need a few more parts. (injectors, TB, intake. etc.)

That's your evap line. Notice on your right side of the valve cover there's an evap solenoid. There's a hard plastic line that connects to your tb.
