Radiator hold down

That actually looks good, did you get their radiator or just buy the hold down? They was giving that hold down as a bonus or discounting it with a purchase of their radiator.

Looking at your engine bay notice vacuum-block has one fitting see one line going to V-brakes.. Did you rerout vacum lines and pull vac. from another source?Notice FPR has Vac line coming off EGR area. Do you not use a PVC valve? If you are running a PVC where are you pulling vac from as I'd like to try it rather then from TB , as my car is one of those that sucks up oil mist. Sorry to get off subject was just wondering.

looks good might have to pick one of these up and get it engraved with BOOST231 on it.

See it now on your firewall thanks. Another stupid question how long have you run that engine with out PCV? No problems or is there anything you do different/special since blocking it off? Been running an air/oil separator and it helps , my car likes to suck oil thru the pcv as though it were a straw.

 

[PaCemkr86]

no pcv for years.. just dual breathers..

looks like i might need to trim the hold down a little as my hood spring is hitting it, but by the looks of it the spring was hitting my stock hold down also

here is a little mod i did, to keep the hood spring from scratching it
