Looks great bro.
In the second pic, are you tuning out that little valve that's mounted on the plenum and going in to the port you blocked off? What's it for anyways? I know it's part of the EVAP system, but what exactly does it do and what happens if you delete it?
Where did you get those plugs too - locally?
Thanks. I want to say that is the purge valve that vents the gas tank fumes into the IM, but I'd have to take a look at a stock setup or parts diagrams to say for sure.
The plugs came from a local Ace Hardware (super store). Their hardware isle is like 200ft long!
damn that looks clean. Quality work man. I dunno why I haven't already but I'm subscribing to this ****. Really excited to see the outcome of this.
Thanks! Upon final assembly I'll throw some loc-tite on the threads. For the sake of time, cost, and DIY-ness, I'm going to clean the IM myself and spray it flat black. I might give the block the same treatment.
I'm also considering relocating the IAT sensor to the charge piping just before the TB for more accurate readings, and plugging the stock hole. I'm looking forward to reverting to the stock TB from my S2 unit to get my cruise control back. I intend to DIY gasket match the intake runners and the head, but I'm not trying to go all out with intake modifications. Simple and reliable.
