3 Mods Done At the same time from scratch
I did the Cackle Cure, the HPX and the CCV mods at the same time and I think that it was much faster than doing them seperatly because the equiptment that has to be removed for one , is better removed for all. I had a few un-expected things come up but through persistance got the job done.I have posted some pictures in my gallery for anyone thinking about doing any of these mods. I also found one missing and one loose bolt in the turbo that was causing it to leak. And a ROCK in the fuel passage in the head. That picture is also in my gallery.

hey i got a question, in machinistikas ccv mod picture, he has it going striaght down, and everyone that has done it on here has always gone over the brake booster and then down to prevent any oil that comes from the vent will run back into the engine, is either way not a problem then? reason i ask is cause im gonna do this mod and i want to keep the hose warm and as short as possible to prevent condensation icing up in the hose (happened to someone on FTE i remember reading about it) during the cold winters that we have, but if you guys think going over the booster and then back down near the rear of the engine would keep the tube warm then thats the route i will go.

I am a firm believer in straight down or downhill. I wouldn't worry so much about oil making it's way back as that is where it came from but more so about a clogged hose and then you are overpressurizing the engine beyond design specs.

nice job on the mods. I am thinking of doing the same thing, but i dont quite understand how to do the "crackle cure" mod. the CCV and HPX mods i know how to do from reading on the forum, but the "crackle cure" i have never been able to understand how to do.
Any help on the subject would be great, maybe a parts list or something.

Sorry 'bout that
I had been following your report very closly. I waited for the final report before I decided to "Go for it". I did give you an atta boy for your exellent work though! Thanks again for your willingness to help the rest of us!

You sure did, and I appreciate that. Not being a mechanic myself, I'm happy to pitch in whenever I can find a slot where I can do so... almost as much as I am happy to learn from the rest of you guys here.
