Absolutely beautiful!

Well damn, I thought I was done spending money on the M6. I am a bit conflicted on whether I should grab a set or not. My intakes and charge pipes are titanium and I fear these might clash being right up against the intakes, though, my engine cover is in carbon fiber so they could tie in there.

Decisions, decisions.

Hell, I'm just happy to see a replacement for those bland stock inlets. Any improvement to flow/sound, no matter how minuscule, is a plus.

Do any of you have suggestions for some nice pre cut tubing that will complement the CF air intake and turbo inlet pieces?

Spent the afternoon in and out of the garage removing my pcv. Alves and waiting for ups. They finally came through around 3 pm so I didn’t have to wait too long for the fcp order.

While I had things off I decided to polish the engine cover bridge/mount, turbo heat shield, turbo coolant lines and the DME faces. Gave the naked engine a lil pop to help dress things up with the turbo inlets.

The pcv valves went in with ease and honestly I should have planned for this. I took the car out for a short ride to make sure nothing shifted out of the hose clamps. I didn’t push the car so can’t say anything about performance but the turbos had a bit more presence audibly.

I would really like to find some nice hose/tubing to connect the inlets to the air in takes so please shoot me some recommendations.

Agreed but I have plans for that space that the air boxes used to occupy.

i think one of your pcv valve not fitted correctly, you should hear click sound, be sure not to leak.
look at right and left side.

Eagle Eyes. I did the exact same thing when I replaced my PCV’s. Will cause a CEL over time but easy fix.

To make sure I am tracking this right, you shaved the end of the pcv tube that mates up to the IAD piece?

I went after the end of the pcv valve with a small file. I didn’t take much off but I was able to get it to lock down. I could probably shave a little more off to make it easier to lock down.

I appreciate the eagle eyes and the tips!
