Looking for boost leaks behind the engine... I don't think a single cm^2 of my spider hose isn't...

Default I am getting rid of spider, flushing my intercoolers and venting to atmosphere..
as a result there will be no more oil in my IC and intake..plus no boost leak and pressurizing of engine head(read valve cover leaks)..

And unless you hide all this, would not pass a visual SMOG inspection in CA.

You will make it closed after a while, too much smelly things to be confortable.

center diff. that way fumes would not get into car I hope..if they do I will run it all the way to the back of the car :-)
