Just installed the CPE X-cel NANO........

[714ms3]

.....and omfg I love it!! The car just begs to be driven hard now. The stock BPV is more audible. A perfect addition to the engine bay.

My only gripe is that the PCV line connector has no locking mechanism on it (the stock airbox had a little blue lock in place). Did anyone do anything special to rectify this?
The install took me a whopping 45 mins, most of the time being spent trying to remove the hose clamp on the turbo inlet side, and trying to disconnect the stock accordion hose from the turbo inlet pipe (you gotta pull that b**** hard).

I re-used the blue clip. PM me if you'd like more details

I am thinking of replacing the breather hose with a silicone hose.

Not a bad idea. Maybe one of the sponsors could get the measurements done and sell some colored hoses? I would certainly feel a lot more comfortable knowing that the damn thing is secured on there. The only other solution I could come up with was zip tying it to the wiring harness, or the mount.

I replaced the breather hose.

Love it man!!! Where did you buy it?

But replacing the hose still does not fix the issue of the L bend piece not locking.
How do we overcome this? Or can you buy those little blue clips on the OEM unit from the dealer?

Thanks. It is actually a silicone heater hose and I bought it at a local Speed shop(S-K Speed).

The elbow does not need to be locked on the Nano breather tube. The elbow does not move,once it is attached.

Oh dang. Good idea using the blue silicone hose. I probably just like it cause its blue..haha

I re-used the stock blue clip and it locked into place just like the factory intake. Hope this helps.

Yeah I used the stock blue clip also and it fit perfect....just my two cents
