(TIA, btw)

I ordered the Forge MBC (pictured below), which has 3 hose connectors/inlets. It looks like (from my AW searches) when running an MBC in parallel to the N75, one of these inlets -aka, the bleed hole- needs to be plugged. Is that correct? If so, what do you recommend I use to do so?

I guess I need to get some hose, clamps, and T fittings, too.

I kinda want to install this before 1/7 (along with an APR boost gauge), so any advice/encouragement would be appreciated.

oh yea. I changed out my spark plugs tonight, which gave me some more practice at removing/installing the S4 airbox, so hopefully at the dyno day we can pull off some darintake/stock airbox hot swapping action. =)

IMO, it's smarter to go with one specifically made for your application instead of modding one to fit which might cause problems down the road.

I have heard that Mike is impossible to get in touch with, in fact, my buddy and I tried to contact him a few months ago, we wanted to basically give him a new website and a real store front system, but he never responded.
I didn't order from VAST, because I was concerned that it would take forever for it to show up.
If I order from them, do you think it would show up before 1/7?

Thanks

Just tell him that mbox set up a SE dyno day and you'd like to have it by then for testing purposes. Mike's a good friend of mine so he should understand and get it to you w/out issue.

The reason he didn't answer regarding your redesign offer was b/c he was already in the middle of redesigning the Vast site. The new one just launched so tread softly on what you say in regards to it b/c I know they worked hard on it.

So.. you're in the trade huh? You got a portfolio site? Where do you work? Email me @ info@01s4.com if you want to keep it personal.

Thanks for the inside info. I'd definetly not speak ill of someones site. I was hoping to get that particular project both for our portfolio, but to help them out too.

I am in the web design/development trade part time- I havent had any big projects yet, a couple of small ones (and a big 'iron in the fire' for an arena football team). I do php/mysql and css along with project management and hoping to do some custom streaming video solutions. Im not very good at p-shop, however.

Full time, I work for a IT consuling company doing XP and SBS 2003 support for small businesses - but the more web development projects I do and the more I learn, the more I relize that I'd rather be doing Project Management and take my side business full time.

I do have a portfolio site - design wise, its 100% done (graphics done by one of the other guys in the 'company') and content wise its 75% done (still have one page to add). I will send you a link shortly. If anyone else wants a link, let me know, but I dont want to anger the AW gods by advertising my business =)
