2 huge hoses for massive crank case venting under boost?

can you have too much crank case vaccuum? why not just drill and tap out the existing breather?

anyway.. looks cool, you keep it bolted to the head so it wouldn't warp when you welded it?


on a seperate note.. the engine bay posted above, is that power steering and AC hose cover custom? looks nice, is that just chrome paint on the cruise control?
 
one I just finished

thanks for the kind words Bert, it is paint. Whenever I tell people they get a little disgused about it not being powder, but the painted cover I have on my car now, has lasted atleast 2 years with no ill effects.
 
This is what I have done so far. There are a few other things I need to have powdered and cleaned up.

Ya it is a lot of red, but it looks good like you said. I kinda like the purple to throw something different into the mix. I may do a little photoshop to see how it looks red or black. I also just found my new 2g upper timing cover so I'll trhow that on. Thanks for your input and I'm glad you like it.

Not that custom but its mine so i like it. Plus the powedrcoating
really shines when not taking picture w/ a 10 dollar digital camera.
The shoestring looking things are silver plug wire covers to cover my
$17 yellow accel wires.<br>

Where did you get your spark plug wire cover?
 
Heres mine I just did a few weeks ago. I was changing my gasket and just decided to paint it on the spot, Id say it came out pretty good for the 1/2 hour I put into it.

Dont mind the filthy engine bay, I was just taking a picture of the VC so I didnt feel the need to clean it :)
Filthy Engine bay, thats not filthy. This is filthy (and my valve cover).
