I never had a problem with ETS. Honestly, alot of companies wouldve said kick rocks a long time ago. There isnt a lot of space under there with the OEM battery. Thats why I got the mini battery with short route piping.

When you start adding meth bungs, it starts getting tight... i'm sure you're well aware of that.

When you have the lines coming off of the bungs!!!!! Don't get lippy with me. It is very tight in there. On my VIII with regular battery, boost controller, HKS intake, I can't even find a way to fit a oil catch can in there. Not sure where you're getting the idea that there is all this room. Keep in mind ETS has to make that set up work for many different configurations. Take your little fits some where else.

There are no lines on it yet and bov still hit.Two 1/4" lines take up alot space.get off their nuts.BOV hits fan shroud no matter that was the problem.I will take pics of engine bay.I have boost controller box,catch can,4" intake pipe.This configuration will work with all stock battery cars.I had a stock battery ets pipe with stock bov.I wanted same exact pipe with tial flange since i was going speed density.understand what im saying now?bungs were added because i was getting a new pipe anyway.

I think the OP should have kept this off of the forums especially with the effort made by ETS to rectify the situation.

When you make a thread and seem to be unwilling to work with a company that is more than willing to help you with the problem,it just makes you look bad.

what i wasnt willing to do was pay next day shipping again.I had spent $130 on shipping alone already i wasnt willing to spend another $80.$210 in shipping cost for a $190 part?

$190 for pipe $40 for 2nd day shipping
$80 to ship back next day.
$50 to get powder coated
free tig welding because i did it myself.otherwise a welder would charge $40 give or take.

At the end these were their words ship it to us next day and we will ship back next day.we only do warranty work with ground shipping.You(op) ship ground and we can ship back next day i (op) pays difference between ground and next day.


Me look bad?I payed for something that was suppose to fit.That goes to show you their quality control.defective bungs,bov flange welded 2 inches away where its suppose be.

ETS should not have took on the job if they could not handle it.

If you couldnt fit a catch can in there , it was something you are doing wrong but by God I dont want to get lippy with you

Lol , shops are always willing to help people when the dirty laundry gets aired out in public. Amazing how that works....

ETS has decent customer service but I do not like the quality of their parts. I spent 1100 dollars on a fmic kit for my 2g and it was horrible. Horrible fitment, came with about 10 pipes, No IC elbow, bov placement was horrible. Complete cluster ****. Had to spend a lot of money fixing that ****.

Lol, lets try it this way. I have the ETS short route piping with the mini battery and Tial bov and I have ZERO issues. YOU were too focused on trying to do it YOUR way. THEY offered you a mini battery at their COST. So why dont you stop wasting your time typing/bashing and start thinking how your problem will be SOLVED once you get the mini battery kit.

To the other guy, ETS DID handle the job. THEY built it to HIS specs. Laslty, did you misread where the put HIS pipe on one of THEIR cars before they shipped it to him the last time.

Yea I read it. But I do not believe it. The OP and I have been in this 4g63 business for over 10 years. I think we know how to put a intercooler pipe on. This pipe does not clear the shroud. Maybe they put it on without the Tial bov? I dont know. But this one does not clear the shroud. The car has never been in any accidents so there is just no other excuse for the bov not to clear.

Personally I run a mini battery and short route pipe so I under stand what some of you are saying but the OP does not want to run one and he does not have to.

Well eitherway I hope that THEY can get it worked out. To the OP, get the mini battery man. Trust me it will frees up a lot of area. If they are still giving you that option take it.
