It need hump hose so it has more give, yes. Also the 90 going down is held very tight and hump hose alow it to flex more for the engine ( not that it moves much) but also helps the pipes line up better.

I ended up using some marine type adhesive. The jb weld held great on the level sensor but I ran out of that stuff. On the side there were 2 holes I needed to plug. 2 days so far and its not leaking.

i think the real test for the adhesive and sealers we used to plug the holes up will be in the winter when its really cold.. glad to see u got it working though..i made the mount for mine hidden away near the transmission lol, just painted the tank black this morning.. i gotta run all the lines and stuff next weekend when i have more time but ill post some pics up this week of it.

I forgot to mention I installed PTP's freeze plug with the bung for meth injection. Capped it off with a bolt. But its there and ready.

Your car looks amazing. I think it's time for another "car of the month" to be a speed6.

 

[Qwik6]

Too much protege support . boosted has my vote and you would have mine qwik !

 

[Qwik6]

If you guys used the same marine sealer as me it will be just fine in the winter. Look back at the original dates of when I did this. It was a winter project for me and saw a few snow storms. The only thing I did wrong was not enough sealant on the plugs the first time around.

Keep an eye out for big mouth #3 thread on one of the forums. Currently working it now for the cleanest Speed6 on the planet and probably the lowest mileage one too.

[BoostedSpd6]

i know..im just tired of seeing the Protege support basically every month so im entering every month lol..woohoo 2 speed 6's next month sweet!!!..

so back on topic (lol2)

do u have any datalogs of ur Boost Air temps, i have a ton and im going to post them very soon in the GB thread, just wondering for comparision.

 

[Qwik6]

What kind of log are you looking for? I can do one tomarrow.

True. Seems like 90% of the cars entering are protege's. Time for us to show them who is boss

 

[BoostedSpd6]

do a log of ur boost air temp.. like say in 3rd 4th gear drving around normally for about a minute and then get on it.. i did one early in the morning on my way to NY the other day at 5am.. it was 60 degrees out.. car was warmed up.. driving around till i got to route 44 i was about 94-98 degrees and when i got on it i was seeing boost air temps as low as 83 degree's.. but what was weird and also very good was on my way home it was about 82 degrees out and i was still seeing driving around temps below 110 degree's..on the highway with the AC on i was about 108-112 degree's the whole time but if someone was right in front of me it shot up to as high as 122 degree's.. not too bad considering with the cp-e FMIC i never saw temps below 115 degree's unless during winter..

It will drop even more with a IM spacer and coolant bypass. It was 92 out this weekend. Driving around my BAT's were 112-118. tonight it was 70 out. BAT's cruising was 89.
