Then stop turbo fapping and hurry up and build the kit! I wanna see it already.

Haha I'm sorry there justv too many turbos out there for me to love just one.

Also I may be getting a loaner here shortly to drive so I can build my case and save some money to buy a nicer daily. Cross your fingers everyone. Might have serious developments in the next 2-3 weeks.

The intake is different, but the piping is the same. The Z1 tubes will work with any intake.

What I'm telling you is that the Z1 breather tubes are on the car already. I circled them in the picture above.

Then just undo them from the plastic boxes, remove the plastic boxes, and put the breather tubes on your stillen pipes.

dmhenderson · 02-27-2013, 11:24 PM

What plastic boxes? I'm confused.

I can't make any guarantees that I'll be there, but if I am sure I'll show you.

I just ordered two cans of plastidip: Black for the coolant tank and red for the dip stick. I'm going to hit both with a really fine grain sandpaper and dip them.

I *think* that because they're not exposed to the elements, they won't get that weird "aged" look dip tends to get after a few months. If not, they can't look worse than they do already.

Make sure to put a thin piece of pinstripe tape on the inside of the coolant tank so you'll still be able to check fluid level inside... I might do that one myself eventually to get rid of the ugly plastic, maybe even the PS bottle as well...

As for the dipstick, as long as you're not using it all the time, and just redip prior to shows, it should work. I'll be interested to see how it turns out.

Plasti dip doesn't require any sanding. If you want to do it, go ahead but it's not necessary. Just make sure the area is clean.

Sales@AAMComp · 02-28-2013, 09:34 AM

My buddy did his coolant tank and just taped off the area where the scale is so he can still check the levels. Sticks well, won't burn off, none of that

DM isn't the purpose of aftermarket breather tube to eliminate the black boxes that are inline?

Masa · 02-28-2013, 09:49 AM

Yeah, those black boxes are just resonators for sound. The tubes can attach directly to the G3's.
