I bought it from Kevin about a year ago, but it looks like he just cut off part of it at the turbo side so that it would be short enough to work. BTW, if you don't mind dealing with HT, they sell them...for $99 new.

PS: It was nice having a recurric port for my ARC BOV.

Dude, if they overheat with the stock radiator, which is twice as big as a Honda one, it will very much overheat with the Honda one. Bad idea. Here's a tip: Cooling ability comes before everything else in a turbo motor.
