looks like the PE (power extreme - have two on my TII). They are nice sounding even though they are ugly.

did you hook up your catch can correctly? I don't see your vac source for it.

The catch can isn't suppose to be under vacuum, at least from my understanding. This would eliminate the hole purpose of the can and also create a vacuum leak in the car. If it is under vacuum, it would just suck the oil back into the intake track. Why did you think it was suppose to be under vacuum?

Actually one HUGE difference, my catch can is vented to the atmosphere. All that has to be done is that the crankcase needs to be vented. The reason cars have PCV valves and it vents back into the engine is for emissions. It was designed to re-burn gasses that are pushed into the crankcase, and not let then escape to the atmosphere, thus lowering bad things being emitted from the car. Do a search and you will find that I have MY catch can hooked up correctly.

you can run it like what you've done

or you could us a vac source (not as messy as the filter method). The filter will get clogged up with oil. After about 10,000 miles mine was nasty.

re-read that and you will understand what i'm talking about with the vac source.

Where did you get your intake manifold polished at? How much was it? I live in the Chicago area and I would like to get my intake manifold and some other misc peices polished.

I did all the polishing myself. I have polished the UIM, TB, Thermostat neck, AST, Intercooler, and front brake calipers. It is not hard, just very time consuming.

What pulley is that on your power steering? I thought I saw holes in it, but also noticed you have the greddy pulleys. Can you buy that power steering pulley seperately?
