I included the image with arrows showing airflow into cac and out back and down and into lower airdam which enhances the flow by pulling the air out and down of the back of cac.

Thanks for the great illustration! I think for the time being, I'm going to try to build a scoop for pushing air threw the CAC until I see if it has any negative affects on my engine cooling. If it does, I'll try working something out for the rear air dam. Once again, thanks.

Any updates or?

I haven't got around to adding the scoop yet, but I will. I did install a small oil catch can between the CDR and turbo. Although I don't get much oil through the CDR, I figure this would help keep it cleaner inside. This is one of the few catch cans I could find that had the large 3/4" nipples.
The clear vinyl hoses are temporary, as my Orielly auto was our of the 3/4 Gates Green Stripe that I like to use, but they will have some later this week. Here are a couple pics.

That looks neat. How well does it work so far?

Jorge, I just installed it, but as soon as the truck has a couple hundred miles on it, I'll report. I'm hoping it will assist in keeping the CAC clean.

Thanks! I can't see spending 100 and up bucks for a can. Great Britain never should have relinquished Hong Kong back to China.

No, I haven't got a gauge on it yet. Its very high on my list, but my built DB2 is almost finished, and I have to be prepared to pay that bill. After that I will be focusing on buying this gauge http://www.ebay.com/itm/351203473351?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT and my WMI. Thanks

I've spoke with several people both here, and at DP, and they seem to be happy with theirs. I know the Glow Shift gauges fit by budget much better than some of the other brands. Will, what problems have you had with them?

on egt: needle mega bounced. on boost it bounced so much I thought I had a sticking intake valve. oil pressure gauge was off by about 10% high. I was not impressed by the customer service either. All 3 of these had the problems at around 6 months old. I had to pay shipping back to them, they sent them all back about a month later and the "fixes" lasted about 2 weeks (the boost gauge wasn't the same one I sent in). When I called them up, they said I was too far out of warranty. I went back to autometer or vdo and been happy.

I did that search over there, and it got nothing. I notice they don't list any prices. That usually means they're high, but maybe not.
