Actually, I do have a very similar valve. I thought I had to have something more elaborate but it appears I can just get a "T" silicone fitting. That could be a good way to do it.

Hmmmm....

Not a LOT of progress, but I did get the headlight motors hooked up and raising/lowering the buckets last night.

One foot in front of the other...and I'll be there in no time. Right?

I just try to do SOMETHING every day, even if it's 10 minutes.

That's exactly what I need to do. Take an egg timer out to the garage with me or something.

I think if I just get the wheels on and put the car on the ground, it'll help my mental state. Even if I just put it there for a few hours to get it off jack stands and out of the garage.

A little bit a day does help. After a while the incentive get's a little cloudy. Something that I'll try to do is get a buddy over for a couple hours. Amazing how much you can get done in a day with a helper. Doesn't even need to be much of a mechanic. Definitely helps if they have a teener too. Just makes it a little smoother work day. Just have a plan to tackle a particular thing. I don't accomplish much when I go out with no plan. I'll jump from one thing to another & really not accomplish much of anything. So even if you just have 15min. Have a plan of what your going to do.

I am the king of letting things sit. I am a feast or famine guy. Mine will sit for 8 months. I'll work on it hot & heavy for a month. Then it sits again (my v8 conversion is a great example). Although it's been sitting close to 2 years now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . I'm a walking contradictin (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

A question about the BOV: Can I put it in my trunk? Is there an issue with me blasting extra pressure into there? I'm not recirculating at that point, and the cool "wishhh" sound would be in my trunk, but that'd be the easiest/quickest way for me to do it.

That's what I'm thinking. Just blow it out the bottom of the trunk.

Ordered this today for $25 from Amazon. I can shorten it a bit and put it wherever I want. This should be perfect.

You might want to leave it as is. The humps will help you from hoses blowing off. Make sure you get quality T clamps and hoses. My old TDI ran 45 PSI boast levels, I had to change all my intercooler piping from the turbo on out. All joints had 12" of slip and double T clamps on each side and that finally solved my constant issue of tubes blowing out of the silicone connector hoses.

You shouldn't see that kind of boast range with your little gas engine, but it is the point that these things do leak, and air will find or create a least restrictive pass to atmosphere. It really does not like being compressed, shoved down a series of pipes, chilled, and then burnt. If air molecules have feelings this would be like their own personal trip to hell. I would try to form a revolt, and find the weakness in my prisons defenses and escape also.

Stephen-

I forgot to properly thank you for the headlight motor pieces. You gave me the EXACT 3 parts I was missing. It was actually quite amazing. That's the one thing I've done to the car in a month and a half. One more thing to check off the list!

Not a problem, glad they where of use, life gets in the way, sometimes the little things can start you rolling in the correct direction and like a small ball in the snow, as it rolls you pickup more snow. Pretty soon your ball will pickup speed and rolling faster and faster down hill.

Wish I could come up and help you, but my schedule is booked out through October. We have been told not to ask for leave until Mid October. As of right now, I am in the middle of a huge network upgrade, and have ~58 hours and 51 minutes to get it done. Sometimes I wonder why I am still in this game! Because I love doing what people say is impossible, and Im a little (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Okay maybe more than a little bit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

The part I ordered isn't going to cut it, so I'm dropping the hot-side piping off tonight to have a BOV mount welded to it. I'm also having him make me 1" inserts for the radiator tubing and weld the Wide-Band bung in the exhaust so that'll be nice and tidy.

From there I should be able to sort the rest of the tubing and get this project off dead center and moving in the right direction.

Distractions suck.

Theoretically, if I wanted to put a "build party" together for a few days...who would be in? I'm thinking the first or second weekend in September? I'd love to have it running by "09/14"

I'd cover hotel rooms and food for everyone over a weekend. I think I'm close enough that if 2-3 people helped me, I could be driving the thing around, sans interior, after a day of wrenching.

Anyone???
