Well done - love the Comptech bar. I would be one of the customers that wouldn't want zip ties holding brake booster, etc!
Let us know how it goes. I think the front end is stiff enough - but interesting to see how you find it.
hehe - Just read that closed Faiz post about understeer/oversteer - when he really is talking about a wheel alignment. Very funny indeed. There is no way with his driving ability he can get that car to oversteer

Well the brake booster itself is still held in place by proper brackets, but it is just the vaccuum hoses which are now "guided" by zip ties as opposed to metal brackets.
Sorry ... photo's will explain all shortly ...

If you drive into water deep enough to cover the pod filter on your CAI, then you risk sucking up a whole lot of water and hydrolocking (seizing) your engine. Then your best case scenario is a full rebuild, otherwise if there is any damage to the block which can't be repaired, you're up for a whole new engine.
The AEM bypass valve is basically like a rubber coupling but with dense foam sides and some rubber flaps inside that open up with an increase in vacuum in the intake. The idea is that in normal conditions it is easier to suck air through the pod filter than through the foam of the bypass valve. Then if the pod filter of your CAI is submersed in water, it is easier to suck air from the engine bay through the foam than sucking the water through the pod filter and up the CAI.
From what I know, AEM do not make a valve that will fit the K&N Typhoon kit, they only have models to fit their own CAI and the one from Injen.

Does that all make sense? Basically it's an insurance policy against killing your engine when it rains and since this car is my wife's, whilst I might make sure that I don't drive through deep puddles, there's no way I can expect her to do the same. Especially since she thinks the mod's are a waste of money and ruining the car anyway!!

Thanks, it's really dirty though and could do with a good clean.

Rod,
So what you're saying is the by pass valve also sucking air all the time?
wouldn't that defeat the purpose of CAI?
I see you blocking the rocker valve, that would build up pressure inside the crank wouldnt it? best to get a oil filter or somesort.
