Here's some final pics! Installed the 07 engine cover I got courtesy of Mike (64camino) and cleaned up a little bit. I tried taking a short video but my 40 seconds was 80mb. I'll have to see if I can figure out how to cut that down.

I'm gonna call TurboSmart tomorrow and see if they sell lower pressure springs. I also need a new flange to mount the BOV to the new pipe. I actually might go a different route all together and pick up a TiAL 50mm BOV, I've heard those are supposed to be pretty good.

Looks good. Don't know if you know or not but to adjust the BOV you just grab the head of it and twist it. Righty tighty, lefty loosey.
You can loosen it up to where you don't even hear it.

i think he might have been having overheating problems with the e-fans.
i'm sure the hot weather in phoenix has lots to do with it.
