Craig has them for 29 bucks, and they dont look like ghetto ass ---- in your engine bay either. Personally I like my wg to be on Vac/Boost source, not soley a boost source.

As far as sccaeg's piece, something like that would work, but claiming it only cost 5 dollars is bs when it's obvious you have about 3 packs of jb weld on that thing ::)

isn't the compressor housing just a boost source, that's where i had it hooked upto before?

i think scaaeg used more jb weld then neccesary. less jb weld on the edges would've worked just as good. that thing scaeeg built won't see more than 15psi in it's lifetime. that's nothing for jb weld.

man for 5$ u could have take a piece of 1" sqaure bar drilled the middle out, and drilled 5 holes on the side, tapped those with a 1/8 npt or 1/4 npt and stuck some barbs in.

that ---- is ghetto, u might wanna flare the end so it doesnt pop off :-X
