So i pretty much finished all i needed to dew this weekend, time is going by fast and i only have a couple weeks to be running and tuned out for the upcoming event.
First off all this couldnt have been possible if i wouldnt have had received the vband clamp that i purchased from the Anthony that was shipped to me from All in Fab on Thur and got to me Sat morning, i honestly didnt have hope to get it till Mon. So here i present to ya my 2k13 setup!!

I here show the diff in thickness and strength if the AEM tubing vs Anthony's tubing for the vac kit.
On the left is the AEM. I had to upgrade to 14ft from pump to nozzle due to the new turbo placement and Anthony was generous to hook me up with 20ft free of charge.:bow:

just read through the whole thread. Awesome car man definantly my favourite ep3 yet. Only thing im worried about is your dump tube melting your cowl when it gets hot. Not sure if you have a plan for that or not.. and as for making the dump unique, i just like the tip cut back on a 45* angle, nothing too outrageous but a nice touch to it.
Keep up the good work ill be following this one to see the finished result!
Yea at the moment i dont care bout the cowl cause down the rd i will coat the pipe and have a sheet metal cowl custom made for me that should be more heat tolerantQuote:

that sure is a possibility pal i need to find one nowQuote:

Your car is golden dude! Props for that. But I'm not to keen on the tip of the dump. I'd have it spun around 180 degrees if it were me. But nonetheless your cars amazing.
thanks adam, there was a reason why they decided that was the best way to do it that way..Quote:
