So I finally got the time to run the long hoses for my TTDA....I am getting really fast at getting the front end of the car....27 minutes today....3 hours all told from start to finish...wish I would have taken more pictures step by step but all in all was very easy to run these tubes....hardest part was trimming away the metal to run the fender tube


Tubes routed after ballast being relocated

Tubes from behind the side grill.....had to slighty bend the right tube to get to it fit behind the headlight washer

Shows were the metal had to be cut to fit the fender tube

The headlight will not fit in with the ballast here it was very simple to relocate...i put it right in front of the battery to the left of the healight housing.

Everythings done looks nice in the engine compartment

Have you driven the car &amp; noticed any difference? Did you secure the ballast to something &amp; did it require running new wire to it? Or was it just a matter of moving it over? TIA

nice installation.....good shots....? shouldnt you cvr the frnt of the hose?

TTington

Yes I have driven the car the first drive was about 6 pm and it was still high 60's outside. Couldn't tell a difference then but when I took the car out around 11 it was a lot cooler outside and it seemed to me that there was more power. I did not need to secure the ballast and there was no need to do anything different with the wires. The ballast did not have any play in it at all sitting in the location it was in.

I don't know about covering the front of the hose what do you think???

TTington

I didn't actually remove the metal just cut it and pulled it back out of the way

mowog

Is there a baffle or water dump somewhere? that would be my only worry

TTington

disconnect the tubes in the winter time....I should be ok for the other 9 months out of the year
