My Bling bling engine bay.

Ok so its only the plenum and UIM. And i forgot to put on my strut brace. But its still sweet!! Although this is a shitty pic i thought somone might get some sort of pleasure out of looking at it. While i had the UIM off i removed my vac rack, EGR, did the TB mod, removed charcoal canister, blah blah all the crap... MUCH cleaner engine bay. I'm seriously considering gettin rid of the power stearing but i kinda like it for daily driving. And what was that thing that has large vacuum lines under the BAC?? I tore it out and plugged the lines. Hope thats ok. Seems to run fine without it. Anyway enjoy!

Wow this is scary you have the same battery, same terminals, same red ground by the bac area and my bay is white, freaky.

That line you removed was a coolant line. So make sure you plug it properly so 13psi dont blow hte cap off or melt it at 185F

no it wasnt a coolant line. its part of that small tube that comes off the intake tube. runs through a hardline along the TB and DC then one line goes to the BAC and the other goes to somthing else. whats the somthing else?
