great work dude!! Just had a look in the pictures of the engine bay set-up.. noticed the locking pipe fittings etc... where you get that from? simple to swap out the existing fitting in the BOV with the new one??

if you cannot find the fittings anywhere i can pick you up some and ship them to you if you are interested.
very easy, in fact the threads on all the quik-lok fittings are 1/8" npt, same threads as bov wastegate vacuum block etc. the line i use is DOT approved air brake line. it does not like heat, like, wastegates. thats why i run ss -4 lines to the w/g from the boost solenoid and t fitting to the w/g




im just running the throttle cable vertical instead of horizontal for now.

you plan on a custom cable at some point, or plan keeping it vertical?

- 25 feet of 1/2" sleeving
