Great build. It was a nice read and gave me some ideas.

I was curious--any particular reason why you opted for recirculating the OCC back to the manifold rather than VTA? The breather cap is basically serving as VTA, so maybe it's not necessary to worry about venting the catch can to atmosphere, as well. Nevertheless, VTA OCC seems like the safest option from a carbon build up standpoint.

thank you...

Connecting the line from the IM to OCC provides much greater efficiency in "pulling" excess pressure from the VC under vacuum conditions...The breather CAP is just used as a redundancy which should help reduce pressure further...I installed the OCC moreso to provide for cleaner ignitions and not as much concerned with carbon buildup...

Interesting. I think that might actually be the ideal setup. Under throttle, the PCV is closed, but the breather cap is open, allowing the pressure from blow-by to escape. Off throttle, the PCV opens up and the breather cap closes, coupled with vacuum from IM you are actually sucking out from the CC into the catch can. Is that correct?

yes...that's basically the idea...just installed as a preventative measure....

Very Nice Build. I like how you provided all the OEM - upgrade comparison photos in the original posts in this thread.

Looks great man! Why'd you decide on this one? I thought I remember seeing you posting on a group buy for a carbon fiber splitter...

Its the same basic styling as the Bojix...This splitter is somewhat more durable which made of aluminum and powder coated and also its half the price....

Additionally Rally Innovations just modified the original design and this new one extends ~1" further and follows the "lines" much better than previous version..

Ah okay, cool! For the install, is it just self-tapping screws?

Its very light and uses the existing mounting hardware / locations as OE and also comes with 4 additional nut/bolt/lock washers which you do need to drill 4 holes to secure further ....The whole install took about a half hour max...very secure....
