The line lock uses standard fittings you just flare the stock lines to fit. And the s/s line in the down pipe pulls vacume from the crankase and has a check valve preventing backward flow. It works but a vented catch can is less hassle. Call me if you want.

That's a clean set up, I like the way the intercooler piping goes under the lights.

You use a push button or whats called a momentary switch> and if your conserned about accidentaly hitting the button put an aditional arming switch for when at the track. The line lock fails in the open mode so it wont just close on its own. Wireing is easy just ground one side and run power to the switch and then to button if thats how you want it and then to the line lock power side. I know many guys running them on the street for years with no problems.
