Whats going on guys...Just wanted to introduce myself, been around this forum but I rarely ever post.

Anyways, I bought my first mod - JWT PopCharger/Z-tube and was wondering how hard the install is and plus how do you exactly protect the AC line? I read a couple things on the forum but just wanted to see what you guys did....

 

actually its a very easy install,the hardest part is attaching the rubber surrounds to the sheild.about the ac line,i have no clue how that guy screwed his up,it dosent really get in the way.

 

check this for the ac line problem

I wrapped the ac line w/ foam tubing available in a home improvement store's A/C section. The cross-section of the foam tubing is like a c, and it slips on the ac line like a glove. While the Z-tube might not contact the ac tube at rest, the engine moves around under load and has the potential or rubbing through the very thin ac line.

 

my ac line dosent even come close to rubbing.ive got over a 1/2 inch of clearence.but of course mine is a 03 and might just have more room then the newer ones.

 

ok thanks for the help.....So I can buy this foam tubing at like a Home Depot or something?

well my parts should be coming in sometime this week, ill see how close it is to my AC line after the install....

 

just make sure you look at the clearence between the maf housing and the ac line.

 

Nope. I had my AC line spring a leak last summer. My AC line rubber right up against the Z Tube. Thankfully Jeff at PPI hooked me up!

 

I checked mine when we installed it, didn't come close to mine either. I have an 05'.

 

most of you guys must suck at installing anything on a car,jeeeez.

 

^^^i see since you installed your own stillen, you are now the new devon.

 

nice choice for your first mod.. keep it up
