Type-S Blow Off Valve, yes its vented to atmosphere, no i dont have engine stall or loss of power or any of that

Engine bay when i first bought the car

After I painted the valve cover, removed the aux cooling fan which didn't work. I used high gloss black and Ford red, and plan on shaving the letters and polishing them

After I painted the heat shield by the master clyinders

NSX Manual Boost Controller, made from Home Depot parts, bought it from ebay for $8, cheaper than i could make it!! Currently set @ 10PSI :D

added a Faze 0-30 vac/0-30 boost gauge, and Air Fuel Ratio Gauge to make sure i wasn't leaning out under boost. Only did I find out AFTER i put everything in that I needed a wideband to tell me that, lol, Murphie's Law huh?
