    I apologize but I sent you a pm the day of the question. I would clean it every 10k miles with a mild soap and water and then just let it air dry.

    Ordered (just dont tell my wife lol)


    Also whats a good selling point for these manifolds is the PCV valve in the OEM valve cover. The rubber piece in the plastic manifold breaks and can cause a check engine light and can make your car not start randomly due to the vacuum leak My friend with a 05 Jetta is going through this right now. I guess it happens with a lot of 2.5 engines hitting the 80+k mark

    Installed the valve cover today. Not hard to do at all. Dropped one of the valve cover bolts in the engine bay Had to use an extendable magnet to grab it. Sorry for the crappy phone pics

    Love the look though!

    did one on friday, the filter for the VC doesn't like to be tightened, keeps popping off on the owner. and it didn't come with the billet block off piece. sorta bummed.

    but the piece is beautiful. 5 minutes of work right off the road enroute to our local gtg.

    make sure you did it right. if not, you will leak oil everywhere.

    it's on there. the fact that the fitting is tapered on top makes it stupid, and want to pop off.

    i secured it

    i think BW needs to use a different filter or people should just use a downdraft tube or catch can.

    i also keep having the same problem of the breather filter not staying on. just last week it popped off while i was driving and i ran over it.

    the baffle that IE designed work though, it have been running with no breather for a week(waiting on the mail) and my engine bay is clean. maybe a spot or two of oil from when i go through the rpms
