    I’m not sure how it performs at winter time. If it freeze up, there is BIG problem. I’m not convinced if few spoonfuls of oil makes any harm. Besides because I mostly run on CNG I’m using V-Lube Valve Saver Additive, so there is extra stuff going in anyways.

    I hope this doesn't turn into a catch can debate thread now.

    For the record I do not and I have no plans on doing so either. Lol.

    Plug outlet of the intake that goes into the passenger valve cover.

    Plug the inlet of the s/c.

    Run both valve covers into a catch can that has a breather on it.

    Ok, I modified the mounts and made the gauges work in the flexpod and still look relatively clean.

    Gauge fix 4.jpg

    Gauge fix 5.jpg

    Gauge fix 6.jpg

    Now, my problem is...IDK where to connect the power wire to to run the gauges?!?!? I checked under the left knee fuse compartment and didnt see anything that stood out to tap in to.

    I am thinking of adding one of those hook fitting around the OBDII fuse in the engine compartment, adding a 5A inline fuse and then forking that line out to the afr/boost gauge. I hate wiring and am open to ANY suggestions. Pictures are MORE than welcome!
