    Probably space. He has a/c I think. Simple routing this way.

    As of right now, yes. Couldn't figure out how to route the plumbing to include any type of IC. I'll revisit it in a few weeks and see if I can make one work. If not, I'll do water/meth injection over 8psi.

    And I think I'm going to ditch the blue silicone couplers and go with black.

    NashMan, what are your thoughts on the BOV?

    Looks great! Stay away from the water/meth though. Pretty soon your trucks teeth (grille) will start falling out, it'll get rust sores all over the place, and have to sell its air bags to buy more. Next thing you know your TV and xbox are missing and your previously good looking truck is selling itself on craigslist in the "Casual Encounters" section.
    Meth Injection... Not even once.

    :p

    But yeah it looks great dude. Love the body color how it lays on the inner fenders. If you don't have much other accent color already i vote leave the blue. It offsets pretty well. Maybe play into it a bit.

    I was thinking you should paint that top section of the intake with the EFI on it either body color or accent color. And a 80s celica distributor cap boot would look nice to keep the wires a little protected from heat and debris. I have one. Can find pics of it installed if you're not familiar. Might have a spare lol

    And you really need a TEQ oil filler cap. I think every member should :lol: I have like 20 of them if you need a few. Just pay shipping. :D

    I was already thinking of painting the intake manifold lettering area black and copper... :)

    I'll pm you about the caps. That's awesome. I found the TEQ logo on the brass sensors that I polished out.

    I love that old logo. Have it tattooed on my wrist. The oil cap is the biggest one you can put on the engine.

    And copper would look good there. With black for the EFI.

    Agreed, but I like the sound of the HKS, so I got it.

    Motor turned out really nice, great job! I agree with you also on changing out the couplers to black, black is always a safe color to go with overall.
