....and it runs better! I was shocked as hell! Before, the idle was really shaky and, sometimes, it would almost die after coming down from high rpms. Now, she purrs like a kitten (well, a large one ) at idle, no wierd fluctuations like before, and no sputtering or dying after high rpms. Normal driving feels much smoother for some reason. Oh, and it sounds much cooler this way too

Um i'm going to guess that he pulled off the reciculatory hose and plugged the output from the LHS turbo. But i'm no rocket scientist.

haha, the recirc size is the same as the BOV inlet, i think its 1.25 inch. just go to the section with the gliders and stoppers, and get a set of black rubber chair feet.

i agree, the car runs better, people said there would be some hesitation, but i dont have any.

Or do what I did, and cut the end off of a hard plastic mallet and stick it in the end of the hose and clamp it down

Don't worry, it's only temporary! The rubber feet is a good idea. I just wanted something NOW that I knew wouldn't melt or get sucked in the inlet.
