Default Pics of blade runner installed

I installed the blade runner today (finally). Attached are a couple of pictures. I also rerouted the PCV while at it. Used a boat plug from the hardware store. I pinned both of the plugs after using loctite on the threads (can never bee too safe when parts can fall into the turbo inlet).

The 2nd pic shows how they address the 90*. Along with the vanes, anything is better. I will keep you informed on how it runs as I did not have time to test drive tonight.

After driving for a couple of days, it seems to spool faster. Not much gain by the seat of pants dyno. The EGT's on the other hand do seem to be better. Particularly when at idle just before turning the motor off. The EGT's seem to drop below 400 in about half the time as before. The EGT's do not seem to hover at the 410 mark for several seconds, instead they drop steadily down to the 360 mark then hover and continue to drop after that. I usually turn the motor off after the EGT's get under 400.
