Some pics of my new Rx mods
So i have had the Rx ported IM/TB, black ice-olator and catch can on for about 2 weeks now and i must say they are great mods and would recommend them to anyone looking for a cheap quick project with big gains! Tracy was easy to work with as far as emails, and shipping. it was a very easy process going through him so a big shout out goes to him and the RX team I also decided since ill have the intake manifold off anyway might as well port them heads (was very nervous as im only 20 and never done it before) but it turned out to be very easy with the help of another person to hold the shop vac. with the right tools i think anyone could do it as well. If anyone needs any advice shoot me a PM and ill let you know how i did it. since the thought of grinding away at the heads made be a bit nervous i forgot to have my partner holding the vac take as many pictures as i planned but here are a few of grinding and the end result (my camara man was using an iphone so quality on a couple aren't the greatest)

Nice work.
I used braided hoses with chrome caps to further dress up my Elite Engineering catch-can - here's a pic.

Yes, the drivers-side line is supposed to be removed and the ends capped at the air intake and the valve cover.

Awesome I think the twin turbo is the only RX product I don't have. . Glad to see you are enjoying the mods. Now just waiting the cams from RX.

That IM looks awesome. Mine is supposed to be here tomorrow. Where did you get the braided hoses from? They look very sharp.
