I know of a bad thing to smell in your engine bay is...cat ****. It'll stink up your entire car if it ain't taken care of right away.

Oh yea, I forgot you are running with no filter. I'm no genius, but I'm pretty sure that's a horrible idea.

ya real funny i guess i'll just have to piece away at getting stuff fixed... i'm having a guy make me a plug to fill the hole where the 'pipe/pvc cap' was before. he said that i could run a small hose from where hotshot has his breather filter into the tube-fitting to be recirculated back through the turbo...

well, there is an oily air mixture coming out where my breather filter should be and taking that air and putting it back through the intake towards the turbo wouldn't hurt anything...

i dont think it was a matter of hurting anything...i think it was more of the way the setup was rigged...

The PREVIOUS owner should be. Dave (current owner) is a good guy.
