CCV mod w/vent trap done

It took awhile to manufacture the rest of the parts for the mod, but I'm pretty happy the way it came out. I have a very small amount of vapors exiting the hose at 1200 RPM fast idle so I probably don't need the vent trap at all. Since I already made it, it's installed. The interesting part was the amount of additional backpressure it put on the vent hose. I used about 14 ft of 3/4 hose to reach the rear axle and had 5 in WC backpressure measured at the doghouse with an open hose. After connecting the vent trap, the backpressure increased to 7.5 in WC. It appears that my vent is equal to an additonal 7 ft of hose or 21 ft overall! I really like the SS vent tube eliminator I made from exhaust pipe and polished it on the buffing wheel. A little sparkle under the hood.

If anyone is interested in pics ---> CCV Mod

Now that's something to be proud of! And I also noticed how clean the intake of your turbo is with the WW installed.

Very Nice guzzle. When I first looked at your prototype page and saw that tomato can I started having doubts, but that last picture looks awesome. This is just what I've been looking for because I didn't really like the idea of spraying oil everywhere.

Also Guzzle are you able to see any vapors coming out or does the scotchbrite clean it up that nicely.
