Message	Well, I bought these many, many months ago for a really good price, but to be honest installing them hasn't been on the top of my priority list with so many more important things needed for the Z. However, every day I walk through my garage I see them sitting there collecting dust and I have decided I need to either sell them and capitalize on the profit or put them to use; preferably the latter (despite many opinions on this). I doubt that if I do sell them, I will ever shell out the $550 for this kit-specific and "worthless" upgrade. But, seeing as I do have them now, I might as well try something, no? So, my point is this; 2x generic SSQV's can easily be had for some $400 give or take (or in my case substantially cheaper :P ), as opposed to the Z specific "kit" which is about $150 more. However, from all of my searching I have only been able to conclude that the only thing that really even makes this a "kit" is the small metal flange or adapter that the BOV's are mounted in, as well as 2x black caps (I assume?) and 2x metal recirc fittings (once again, I assume?). From what I can tell, my kit has the other items. Please refer to COZ's kit picture: Could these items not be fabricated, or at least be purchased standalone from someone aftermarket? Apparently from my searching I've not yet found a major vendor to sell this kit specifically. Surely someone has gone through this if nothing else than to save some cash, or at least has the know-how to offer some insight on fixing this situation (besides selling and buying the kit or otherwise...). Yeah, I guess to some extent if you have to ask then you shouldn't be messing with it, but all things considered I would think it has been done already. Please note that these are the new generation models, and intended for the recirc location. To the best of my knowledge*, it wouldn't be difficult to use the generic kit for a hardpipe welded application, but that's a whole 'nuther issue that I am not embracing at this point. Thanks for any input.

Wong 08:48:49 09/12/08 Perhaps the proper word should've been "universal". (n/m) - Inzane 09:16:31 09/12/08 The mounting flange is pretty complicated... - CaliguyPurdue (redesigning) 11:21:39 09/12/08 I doubt you could personally fab anything up yourself - J-Mart 11:49:25 09/12/08 Oops, I definately meant universal. - V.S. 12:50:55 09/12/08
