I like how you point out the pvc piping, but fail to notice the lack of down pipe.

Because flames shooting at your alternator are super cool.

Wow. That's just crazy. Anyone notice it has zero down pipe too lol. Maybe that's why his alternator wire is melted lol.

im guessing by the soot all over the flange and not the rest of the motor, the downpipe was pulled in this pic.

i can see pcv working and working well for it, but i would never ever ever do it or let anyone i know do it.

Man, I gotta tell ya.... I saw this on jalopnik earlier today, and just browsed the.org and saw this thread. I seriously was going to find... and beat you..... because for a second..... I thought that you were the toolbag that hacked together the PVC turbo kit.

In the lsx1 thread, the guy says he daily drives it like this. No downpipe at all.

LOL. My alternator cooked with a heat wrapped downpipe & w/g dump after about 6 months to a year I started having battery recharge issues.... Im surprised that would last 2 start up cycles.

Reminds me of someone local here.... But he has a downpipe, and an open wastegate...

Atleast he spent his money in the right places. Black headlights > downpipe.

I like how he didnt clock the turbo for the oil lines. wonder how often he has to change the turbo from the oil coking in there?
