Just thought i would post some status of my setup, well i blew my intake manifold gasket, and i already had a spare exh gasket so i am doing them both, i got the exh like 90 percent done. the intake one comes in tommorrow i ordered one of those thermalnator gaskets thats made out of plastic, if i use the gasket adhesive from permatex u think it would be ok ? i am doing it for my exhaust one for sure ! out side of that i am installing my new sway bars in the front and rear ( godspeed / intense power ). I am also replaceing the valve on my crankcase evac with the beefier NAPA one it only cost like 5 dollers, btw crankcase evac is the s***. My engine bay was redone by a friend KFL he is on NICO too

I like the engine bay too. What kind of regulator is that your using? And considering doing the same thing with the crankcase evac setup. Seems alot cleaner!

its a 6boost manifold from australia guy name Kyle makes them from time to time, the coil cover is pimp tastic, the regulator is a tomei large diaphram for high hp applications (so they say) i have it setup for a dual feed to my rail with an lines. The crankcase evac is really awesome it just uses the pressure from your exhaust to make vacuum in the block, i have it going to a air to oil seperator ( which it seems like i dont need since its been bone dry since day 1) than to my exhaust. When car is idleing its hard to take of the oil cap, you just want to make sure everything is sealed up and then its a go go

I was wondering what your vac source was. I did the opposite of you, I used my intake (pre turbo, post AFM) that way it's always under vacuum. But since your not running an AFM (or went blow-through) it wouldn't work.
