I hear he used to offer something like this, but couldnt make it financially feasible or something of the sort.

Got it patched up with duct tape (happened to be black) for now. Still seeking a permanent solution or replacement.

I also PMed Clay to see what he has/thinks.

Just a thought, but might be a good idea/time to do the CCV mod.... judging by all the black mess on the line.

It's not hard to do. Just get 18-20' hose from a hardware/auto store, plus a 90* fitting, 3 hose clamps.

I put a metal pipe/bushing in the end of the tube, a metal screen across the outside, (to keep bugs out,) and held it in place with a clamp. Dumped it just past the rear axle.

Prolly gonna need new O-rings, too. I got them from Diesel O-Ring's website, and used his CCV writeup, too.

Smokes a bit, but gets all that oily CRAP out of the Turbo/IC pipes/boots!

I plan on doing ccv. Which o rings are you referring too? I'm assuming there's an appropriate oring kit from diesel orings

There os a link right in the CCV write-up on Guzzles page, but here it is again... http://dieselorings.com/index.php?page=details&prod=6&cat=8&group=6

I origionally did mine without the new O-rings.... leaked immediately.

Ordered them off Guzzle's website... I think 6 or 7 bucks with shipping.. had them in 2 business days.

The kit clay sells also has 2 small O rings for the 2 screws. I like that idea of putting a screen over the end, will have to do that tomorrow.
