actually you can cap off the jet air line--since our cars idle faster than the stock one it is off little use---so to get it running cap it off.
are you ok with the other vacuum lines?
OD
I think my vacuum lines are OK as I took out the BARO

but I have now to plug the jet air and "metering valve" together and then to the T/B.

It will be a hard time doing it... I'll give it a try by tomorrow or wednesday...

btw, to resolv any problemes, I bought a new 255LPH fuel pump , should arrives soon

Is this a walbro pump? Are you planning on converting the non-return line fuel system?

The pump we are talking about runs the water/air inter-cooler, a Jabro model.(still checking which model)

well --after using my superior mcgyver type fluid intelligence-- i have figued out a less expensive and great looking oil catch can set up.
1st this is what i am going to use
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
yes i know-- its a fuel filter--but to use it as a catch can you just add a tube on the inside (plug in hose) and remove the filter.
2nd where to mount---i dont like running hoses all the way to the wwf area so what i intend on doing it to reroute the power braking hose and making room for the catch can in that area--not forgetting to leave room to check the oil it will attach using the bolt on the power brake booster firewall. it should turn out well. this w/e hopefully.
3nd--- i have learned that to vent the crankcase you should NOT have the vacuum attached to the oil filler hose. What was happening to me was every time i was adding oil a little was going in that line via that T connection ---so my vacuum fittlng will be coimg out of the top of the oil cap --where my little breather filter is now.
If you track with this kit on --follow Cams/Moons instructions and put a catch can on. You will need it.

Your point is valid. She definitely deserves a medal, but I hope she'll settle for the 17 year friendship/relationship, the two kids, and all the other wonderful non-material things I give her on a regular basis

I'm definitely a very lucky guy.

I had no vacation today; I now have Tein S springs on the rear.
I will complete the front tomorrow, unless I decide I like the rear down .7 and the front stock. (the car is comfy like this)
Front spring drop is 1.7, so we will see if I like it that way.

That's a big drop in the front.

rote the S's are low and hard--what dampers?T or K's. i run the tein H's and they keep the rake of the chassis and can get over MOST speed bumps ok.
you are right --it aint no vacation putting those things on! fronts are actually easier to me.

Yeah, low and hard.
That describes it.
I do have the Sport model car, so I do not have the front air dam; I haven't noticed issues with speed bumps. (yet)

New attitude

Here is the latest picture, Tein S springs front and rear.

Update:
Why does my rear wheel look smaller?
(It's not smaller, yeah, I saw this and went to measure it)

335 on MAF, 172 load, plus 10 LTT

New MAF sensor.

172% load, and I didn't hit it as hard as possible.
335 on the MAF. (nowhere near my max)

Long term trims are still 10 plus and growing.
Next step is to swap O2 sensors.

I will get rid of my LTTs.

Yes, it's duct taped.....
Nobody (that I can find) carries 3.5 inch hose couplers in Orlando.

I have two on order from Summit Racing.

Duct tape 1001 uses.

The cold air intake is 3.5 inch all the way from the MAF, so far, so good.
Maybe my trims will disappear?
