| Thanks jpat. I have the test plug now but I think I would feel alittle better with the jim cap. When people say "if something could go wrong it probably will" they are talking about "me".

| Put a lock nut on the test plug and you are good to go. I hate the way it looks when you pop the hood and it is missing the resinotor box. Looks like sh it in my opionon. I like the stock look. If there is a lock nut on the plug it can not back off.

| i got a cap from the local pluming store, its not heat resistant and may not last as long as a test plug. but it just looks better and makes me feel safer. a lock nut on a test plug is just as safe just dont look as clean.

But it keeps oil from getting sucked into the turbo and filling the intercooler. It is just a safety mod.

| All installed, the LMM is a different type of plumbing it uses hard plastic tubes with no room or flex to hook it up like previouse D-Maxx's with rubber lines.

| 1' - 5/8" Heater Hose (Shucks Auto)
1' - 3/8" Fuel Hose (Shucks Auto) or more depending on filter location Keep it high that T-Connector to keep it from getting oil soaked.
1" Bar Stool Leg End Cap (Ace Hardware)
5/8" to 5/8" T-Connection with 3/8" out to the Breather (Shucks Auto)
3/8" Breather Filter for Import (Shucks Auto)
Hose Clamps for 5/8" (On Breather line coming from heads) and 3/8" if you like the T-Connector is a very tight fix and since it only allows air into the crank case there is no pressure.
