I just took the whole charcoal canister off, its not needed. IF you want to keep it then ya just relocated it.

Re: My custom DIY a2a intercooler (pics)

what did you do to mount the bottom bungs to the support or is it only supported from the top?

I don't know but I wouldn't think you'd want to plug it

I don't know but I wouldn't think you'd want to plug it

i think i will put a little filter on it so it can still breath and not create to much pressure in the tank.

or just remove the tube and drill a tiny hole in the gas cap

so what is the psi drop for such a large IC? did it affect spool time? i am looking at serveral A2A setups right now and may want to go this route as opposed to spend $1k-1.5k for a pre made one.\

Where did you get the tubing and connectors, the IC, and how are you keeping it from blowing off the throttle body under lots of boost?

Branden, just toss the canister and cut the line off back by the tank or do what Ken said.
You could cut the tube off the T/B and weld it up, that what I'm gonna do along with cutting off the the cooland hookups.

Yes , I like what it looks like in the pics .I think it improves the overall look of the front of the motor .
