If you can get the intake manifold check valve to work, then all you need is to pipe the valve cover breather to the intake tube* If you can't, and you want to pipe the valve cover port to the intake tube AND the intake manifold, then you would need a check valve between the intake manifold and...

Ooh boy, I love this stuff. Let me start off by saying, I haven't tried looking it up again, but I believe I'd read somewhere once upon a time that ZZP's phenolic intake manifold spacer could be used to connect an LSJ intake manifold PCV valve to the PCV port on a non-LSJ head. If this seems...

Tweaking some stuff on my setup, I'd like to swap my 2.9" ZZP pulley for your 3.1" ZZP Pulley. I can also send you my tensioner pulley and clearanced bracket to retain a stock Cobalt SS serpentine belt. $20 for your 3.1" pulley and send you mine in a box with prepaid return shipping for you to...

Small chance I have mine laying around from my transmission swap if I can remember to poke around tonight.

Any chance the early kits used these instead of straps for holding the fuel tank somehow?

That's a DF supplied part, and it's been a few years since I had an F35 in my Goblin, but I believe there's a Cobalt part that goes under it too. Hopefully someone else can provide a clearer answer.

I assume that's related to this post from a while back:

That's correct, although it may not make sense to use all or any of the existing hose with the routing of your intake pipe. When the intake manifold is in vacuum (cruising), air is being pulled into the crankcase through that port on the valve cover and then into the intake manifold through the...

Evap purge solenoid, you do not need it unless you're running an evap system with canister. You would only need this if you are required to retain all your emissions equipment. If you do not use it, you will need to cap a port, I think this is normally connected to the barb on the throttle body...

I came across a post and lost it claiming that the AWD MQB transmissions are basically just FWD transmissions with a different passenger side output housing with a "bevel box" in VW terminology. That whole assembly is pictured here. I'm sure someone that knows VW the way most folks here know...

Full disclosure, I know very little about VWs specifically, but my thoughts are as follows... I believe on AWD Hondas, the transfer case that sends power rearwards is fairly plug and play. I think in many older applications, the transfer case can be unbolted and a cover installed to delete the...

You're not wrong, but...

Second this.

I don't have any basis for this besides my gut, but do you really think the stamped steel control arm would flex more than the cast aluminum arm? I figured part of the reason for the two different parts was weight, but I hadn't really considered that the stamped steel arm might not be as strong...
