Only had about half an hour to work today. Plugged in some plugs and got the valve covers reinstalled, that's about it.

For you guys who did the AIR delete, what did you use to plug/cap the spot for the hose on the CAI/stock intake?

I reused the T that came off my air pump and ran one hose from the spot on the CAI to the one end of the T and then took another hose and put it on the other parts of the T. That way, any air that comes in just gets thrown back into the intake. I'm sure you could find a vacuum cap big enough for it and do it that way...but that's the easy way out. I'll stop by my parking lot today and I'll get a pic of what I mean if you want?

Also digging the new sig pic. Looks rad.

Yeah if you could snap a quick pic I would appreciate it, I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're saying. I thought the hose goes directly from the intake to the pump...


And thanks for the compliment on the new sig pic

Would you happen to know off hand what size it is? That way I could pick one up right after work without having to stop by my apartment first.

Duct tape would have looked prettier than that!

I don't know what the heck you're talking about, that's some precise engineering right thar!

Do you think you could measure the inside diameter of that hose quick? That way I know how big of a cap to get. I want to say it's 3/4", but I'm not positive.

I'll have to check to see if I have something to measure it with down in my toolbox. If I were to guess though I'd say 3/4 or 5/8, maybe slightly bigger. I should have thought to measure that when I was down there the first time.
