Looks nice and clean!! I like the steel braided lines, I may have to get some of those, if only they weren't so spendy.

He still got me beat with the Sheet metal intake. I won't be going there. Yea we might have close to the same weight in An lines on our trucks.

Purdy....

DAQ: Where do I get that TB connector? I want to use it to do a vac (as is pressurized leak) test without the upper IC in place.

Sorry for the quick hijack, now back to your regular program.

TIA

You talking about the silicone coupler? I believe it's a 3 to 4" coupler at least it is on my truck

Is that tank aluminum? If it is the alcohol will corrode it, cake up, and clog the filters, jets, and potentially burn out your pump.

wouldn't that depend on the alloy used?

Looks good!

Can you put mine back together when the engine is done so it looks like that?

It might last a little longer if he doesnt use 100% methanol like maybe 50/50 water. You should do a ss one before long . Either way it all looks great .

Yea well we aren't the type to let the alky sit in the container too long! Like not more than an hour or so.

I had built one out of aluminum. John Gerber had mentioned it to me about the corrosion. I ended up tossing it and building this one.

This was the original. Plastic one mounts in the same spot. 2 bolts and a weatherpack connector. I wanted to be able to remove it for tech inspection. I don't know how comfortable they would be having a gallon of meth in the engine compartment.

No if you are referring to the boost controller lines. But if i was to do it again i would just go with regular -an line and fittings not the teflon ones i used. They work good but a real bitch to get fittings on lines.

Thanks
