Seriously, where do you get all of these ideas from!
Get's to the stage where you think there can't be anything else to do, then up comes another innovative mod!

Cool idea and a decnt fastening/non leaking oil cap is always good.
Seen as its going for carbon i would of been tempted to get another cvh cover and cut it up to make a.....level one, just without the raised sections either end of the cover and had the cap central on the same side as the OE, in for a penny in for a pound n all that.

Awesome work as always.

Maybe I've missed something, but why moving the sender in the charge carrier?

The hole that was welded up was a bigger hole for the standard sensor,the act sensor is a lot smaller and i wanted it moved back from the edge as the silicon hose will be near it
