I decided to switch my meth kit lines over to braided teflon lines.

I had nitrous express make a few lines then i bought some off the shelf braided lines.

Nitrous express lines. I bought these because i wanted black ends. The custom made them to the length i wanted

Next i ordered a -4 AN check valve. Not sure it is needed but i got one anyways. I am still waiting on my black y-fitting so i stuck a blue one in there until the black one comes in the mail.

Hmmm. No i didnt find them cheap. I do however have a stock pile.

Next up i am planning on removing all the rubber vacuum hoses and coverting the FPr, bov and wastegate to -4 braided telfon with AN fittings.

Sadly i have a tackle box full of leftover AN fittings.

Well i decided to switch over my cheap rubber vacuum/boost lines to -3 braided teflon brake lines. I still have alot of clean up todo on the wiring so please dont pay attention to that. It will get cleaned up eventually. As a side note i was getting some boost creep with the old lines. Orginally my boost was fixed at 8 psi and the last few days it has been going to 10psi. Well the new lines got it back to 8psi. I guess they were just letting pressure go by or they were ballooning. I dunno. Anyways it appears to be fixed now

Yeah i know i am stupid. Eventually it will all look nice and organized. It just really bothers me to see my engine look all messy and stuff everywhere.

Looks great man ! Good call on the braided meth lines

Really digging the boost/vacuum lines too , nice work !

I really wish it was easier to hide the bulk of lines and wiring on our trucks , I just wanna see more of my valve covers lol.
