Oh perfect :icon_cry: I wish I had seen this thread before spending $200 on this very BOV, what research I had done... obviously not enough... thought it to be a great idea not having any surge of course... but yeah guess being held open sure doesn't seem like a great idea and if you filter it...

Sorry for repeat - site listed an error did not look like it posted... so of course I tried it again :-) Thanks for the honest replies, those were some of my concerns as well... What are anyone's thoughts on building one? I have built others, both 4" for Cummins diesels... I was going to...

Thanks for the honest replies, those were some of my concerns as well... What are anyone's thoughts on building one? I have built others, both 4" for Cummins diesels... I was going to match oem for fitment, but use all mandrel bends of course. I have access to an dknow how to use a Tig welder...

I know all the pros and cons of ebay... I have been buying and selling on ebay for 10 years, there are good, bad, cheap, quality etc... so I came upon this below, as I was contemplating building an exhaust from scratch, using non-polished stainless, as I did not want to spend $500 on an exhaust...

Sweet Video - sounds like shes a purrin... So are you un-tuned at this point? The video answers my question on the pm about where you live... for sure on the other side of the hills lol...

Yeah I saw it, when it was still on the side of the road, I was headed south bound on I5 and it was on the shoulder N bound the driver still in it... had I not already been running late, I was going to turn around on the next exit to see if he needed any assistance... If I ever have to call for...

Not to hijack, but a continuation on the same subject but a bit deeper - I have read numerous threads on the EGR / no EGR dispute along with this one, my question is - the concern with running lean on mid rpm, higher load situations, can this not be alleviated through tuning, if you are...

^^ DD damn must live close to work huh... I can't complain about what I do now, used to run 180 miles a day... hence the gottadiesel, had a tuned up Jetta TDI... Back to topic... yes the basics look similar and my target boost is about 14-15, so right in there... could go higher but the whole...

Hey grimreaper - I wish only drove 6k a year... more like every 8 weeks... anyway what boost are you running with those plugs gapped @ .028/.029, just curious since that is working for you, if mods and boost are similar to my plans. Thanks

So curious why are you running them at a closer gap, would not the larger gap create a greater spark? yet the closer would be less resistance... just curious as to your thoughts behind it. I am going to be running the same plugs, will be installing as soon as I get my MSD wires in later this week

Yeah a one big complicated glove box... my wish too.... I have lets see finish putting all the accessories on the motor, install clutch, and tranny, mount new inter-cooler and lines, install new fuel system and put tank back in car, the inside is down to the firewall.... so that says enough will...

Yeah my thoughts exactly :icon_bigg... 6 months and $8000 later... fingers and toes crossed that not only it start but nothing leaks and nothing rattles:icon_frow

gaboonviper85 listed the basic list of mods on his post above... There are some good articles on here in regards to basic mods, but you have to be willing to spend several hours reading and learning all your options, how much power you want to produce, how much money it will cost and the order...

Yep sounds like the path I ended up going down and of course when I get the other 1001 things done and ready to run... I will get it timed with a light (and yes caught the bold note on that timing post about the Diag Block Jumper)... Thanks again IJ and other posters for your insight, always...

Yes thanks IJ, that is how I was installing it, which is per the TRSM, it notes something to the point of lining up the pin hole with the notch on the shaft (pic #3 above, bad angle I guess) but the notch is right below the pin hole before installing, that puts the tip just a little CCW but once...

Thank you for the info, that is the exact post I was using, but it states that once it is installed that I can spin the housing so that it lines up, but what I was saying is that when I make them line up after installed, the bolt hole is partially covered... Earlier today I was installing with...

Yes I did, but just did it again and again... tried it 4 or 5 times and with the naked eye, I was right on 0deg or within 2deg of 0 when it appeared to stop at the top of the stroke... argh ---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ---------- When crank is at 0...

I have read a few threads about the same issue, had already tried everything listed, but I could not find a thread with a resolution... I have followed the TRSM for installing the CPS, see pics below, verified #1 piston is at the top and all marks line up to TDC, but when I install the CPS...

I should also add, that I absolutely positively concur with the other posters that are saying focus on the prep... like throwing cleans clothes on a stinky body... just wasting time and money if you don't have the block and the head prep'd correctly, meaning by machinist and one that gets your...

I personally went with the Greddy, as with the thickness and bore I needed, cometic was about the same price but would have had to wait for them to make it, I found a Greddy from Driftmotion that I got right away. Unless you are planing to boost more than 25psi, imho the hks stopper is not...
