Well im bored, im moving soon so im not gonna start any big motor projects. till i get a ****ing garage haha, has anyone replaced the rubber pipe between the maf and compressor, with something that looks like it "flows" better? any pics?, i extended my maf wires last night and am running the tube straight so the filter is up against the fans/radiator, probobly going to replace the pipe with somthing, also has anyone got rid of all those damn pipes that go along with the bov etc.?

I've got a few mandrel bends laying aroud, i'll probably get a pipe made a get a nipple or two welded onto it so i can recirc the BOV and the Crank case if i decided to take off my Catch can.

I could do a write up and send it to you over aim.

I thought you were working on A/C? There is no room for the filter in front of the compressor is you use A/C (i.e. you have to use the stock coupler).

Also, I don't think a mandrel bend will do it. You need both a bend and an expansion in a very short space, which would be much harder to come by. You could mold the bend out of cf, tho.

Of course if you don't have that A/C compressor and hoses in the way, then there's a lot more room to do interesting stuff.

HAha, yeah a/c is done BUT went to charge it and found that the line off the reciver dryer closest to the firewall has a hole in it damnit!, and i no more the powersteering pump so i have lots of room.
