Sorry I had too heh.

Red and Blue AN fittings eh? They not have the semi gloss black?

Its going to look awesome.
 
No haha, truth be told.i am very particular to the type of hose used and the hose I used when I ordered the fittings didn't have all the hose ends in black that I needed. I thought I was kind of in a time crunch and ordered the red and blue. But it turns out I probably had plenty of time to order and wait for the black.

I am pretty attention to detail oriented and it already bugs me that EMS used a different hose for the water lines than I used for the rest of the lines so I think at some point I will probably replace those hoses and maybe do the hose ends at that time.

Ok that makes more scenes, when I saw your "budget" response I sprayed my water all over the screen haha. I have got the black AN's a few times and the wait can be painful at times. I like all my hoses and ends to match.......right down to the wrench areas lining up. Some times I feel like I am a bit anal but I prefer to call myself detail oriented :p

Hose clamps is another big thing, they all need to be the same way.....ok yes I have issues :flipoff2:
 
Just a little trivia but do you know why the AN fittings are blue and red?

I was in the Navy, the N for AN, and the military when spec'ing the fittings wanted something that can be easily identified by what are basically people from all skill levels, zero to skilled. When doing preventative maintenance and checks, the red was do not touch the blue was check for tight.

Valve cover with weld-on AN 10 fittings

So I jumped the gun like I have a tendency to do. haha. EMS did order the same hose, but it hasn't arrived yet so this is just mockup hose, so it will all match. Crisis averted. Haha!

Thanks Kiter,

But really this last batch of updates I can't take any credit for. All credit has to go to EMS Powered. Bak, Marc and Zack, took my idea and their turbo kit and mixed the two. I can only claim, being a pain in the ass and picking colors. haha.
 
You cannot leave out paying for all this wonderful stuff!! I will call the turbo "jealous green" fits very well in may case anyway. Great work all around.
 
Well I would kind of be lying if I didn't admit that I want to use this as a poof of concept. I have been spouting off for 9-12 months now that this motor has a lot of capability and in forced induction guise it will do really well with a little tuning. So after trying other "power adders" that failed I am kind of putting my money where my mouth is.
