The gas tank vent line? I removed my canister due to lack of room, but just left the gas vent line open because I imagined gas getting sucked into the intake manifold if I hooked it up that way.

"Notice the tube from under the intake manifold to the crankcase hole, and the shiney silver filter?? well that didnt work"
dont quote only half my statement the other stuff was the correct way to do it, that suggestion is a way that will work but not nearly as efficiently or properly a straight atmospheric vent is how old old engines did it. now they got the check valve and a vac cource

Why all the extra hose? You could have gone from point A to point B in 1 foot instead of 3.

Got the intercooler setup today, just gotta mount it and find out how to set my BOV to the right settings and whatever I need to do to it, put in my fluids, hopefully I'll give it a first run this weekend. Either that or it'll blow up and i'll shoot myself.

Note the electric fan

dirty dirty radiator! and yeah looks tight... liek a tiger....

im guessing you finally figured out the wiring? and adjusting the BOV is easy, at stoc boost up to 10 psi it should be almost to the fullest of soft settings, then goose it make sure its not bleeding off boost and then that it vents on shifts but doesnt hang open. if it doesn't vent its to tight, if it hangs open and you have massive lag its not tight enough

Man, you're gonna regret using all those fake hose clamps. You should try welding those pipes up instead of using so many couplers too. You're headed to boost leak city right now.

T-bolt clamps will do just fine. replace them when you got the money otherwise the hoses will blow apart many times.

It looks much tighter than it is no worries and as for the boost leak city I do believe your right, maybe i'll weld it in the near future
and snw yeah i got a few t bolt clamps maybe i'll use those instead? I didn't figure they made much of difference than the hose clamps i got on X(

they are much stronger. those hose clamps you are using blow ***** for boost. on stock boost im sure you'll be alright for the most part. but they do blow apart at the joints without T-bolt camps.
