^ now if you had a red rubber piece on the intake, that would look sick!

I have all red rubber cuplings with SERIOUS hardware on there now, that shot was taken a while ago.

did you paint the valvecover? if not you should when you install the turbo.

Nah, I don't know anything about that. What kind of oil do you use?

This is for K&N cotton filters (which you might want to upgrade to anyway)

Anyone know if it will work on paper filters too?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, guess it's not paper. Will it hurt to go with out the oil?

RE: Converted my Intake

it can. the oil is what keeps dirt from getting through the cotton fibers.

I did paint it towards the end of summer, but it was basically just a trial thing. It didnt put a ton of time into it, in fact I didnt even make the HONDA letters silver, its just solid orangeish-red. It'll be repainted black when the turbo goes in.
