Working on making a custom intake. I will share the entire build process with you as I did with my air to water intercooler setup. This should take far less time.

Considering using these parts

Couplers with vac ports.

Port system for BPV return option.

Thoughts, suggestions?

Here's what I whipped up today. Will probably switch to T fittings for the final product, but you get the idea. All that for just under $100.

I changed the pics to links since they were a little large.

Do you plan to run that adapter for the BPV return?

Pretty cool. I recently purchased some intake pipe from them and damn is it thick. Looks like .070. I could build an exhaust out of it haha.

Yeah I plan on doing that for the final product. I didn't want to hold them up there as they were getting ready to close when I arrived. I will swing by another time this week, and include a video of the install when I put the TD04 on. Should be getting that back this week too. I could get lost in that place.

Everyone is so used to me coming in all the time they let me walk around wherever I want lol. It's not really meant to be a retail setting as they are an internet warehouse. Really good people though, I highly recommend giving them your business!
