I forgot about that one, but I do remember seeing it when it came out. Going to go take a look at it now. Thanks a bunch!

Thats awesome to hear, going to spend some time here today and see what other options I have. Looks like the ol girl is getting torn into yet again, haha.

does it not have a warranty period or anything?

Nope, when I asked one of the HKS dealers they pretty much said no warranty is implied in the sale. Now im sure if you bought through a good dealer they would work for you, but the general feeling I got is if you purchase HKS your taking a chance with it

HA! You should've seen what I've been doing with the Z the past month! I even made a thread about it. It's running again, but I'm so OCD with PCV hoses and breathers building up oil. Just 25 miles, and I'm going nuts with oil from the hoses. This weekend I'm putting in a couple of catch cans for the PCV hoses, and then look into getting a small air oil separator for the breather hoses. The one night I lifted the intake manifold to see a bunch of oil dripping from it was enough to drive me crazy.

Plus, I've got an oil cooler fan ordered. I might as well get as much done as I can while the bumper is off. I can't fully enjoy my car until I get this stuff done.

Look into GFB. I love mine. Was looking into the EVC S, but decided on this at the last minute because the awesome reviews.

I had some issues with oil lines at the start but now I have 0 leaks. How are your PCV hoses running? Reason I ask is the way Sasha at Boosted Performance does his kit I have literally no oil from the pcv system entering the air. If I pull the boost tubes there is some oil which is expected but its not enough to even see a hint of blue from the exhaust so I dont worry about it.

If I lived any further south I would have to rethink my cooling situation myself. The car regularly idled at 220F oil temp, got it up to 248F sitting in traffic with the AC going. But up here I rarely break the 220F point.

I just got done working on it today. So far it's ok, but we'll see how long it will last. The Godspeed cans were modified so one connector has a longer tube attached with holes drilled. Then I used left over RTV to improve the seals. I've since trimmed the hoses and reorganized it, so it's looking better, and it doesn't compress itself under vacuum as badly. Here's a post and pic before the trimming:
DIY: Dual Catch Cans with Air/Oil Separators... On the CHEAP!

So far I'm still looking at the TurboSmart EBC since it's pretty small, and I think I can integrate it to the dash. I would have to route a hose into the cabin as well, but I plan to tee it to the boost gauge by moving the sensor inside the cabin as well. The cubby holder will be removed until I get around to getting something custom fabbed.

Also, the relay box on the driver side near the headlight is pretty empty. So I plan to make room for the wastegate solenoid and fan relay. Hopefully it'll keep things "cool" instead of being fully exposed to the heat in the bay.
