    I'm just wondering if anyone has used this for their gen 5 swap. they claim the pcv will function normally with this part and no machining necessary.

    By the time a gen V is beneficial, a stock TB isn't worth using.

    I don't believe that is true. The PCV on the back of the Gen V connects to the stock L32 TB. There is not a place for this connection on a stock L67 TB, the TB will need modded so that there is an extra nipple after the TB blade.

    I'm already running a ported tb and spacer.

    The adapter plate nipple is for Evap. Aka post maf and post throttle blade.
    I recently tapped mine in and IIRC it's post maf and before the throttle blade.

    If you look at a stock L67 TB, you can follow the passage.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Well.. mostly.

    You need the correct length bolts because 3 of the ones in a Gen V are longer than their Gen 3 counterparts.
    You can run the stock Gen V evap and not need to use the nipple on the adapter if you have an L67/L36 TB
    The gasket for Gen V to LIM
    Opening up an L67 LIM for the larger opening of the Gen V
    97/98 needs the newer alternator and it's bracket/tensioner
    You'll want to think about a CAI, but I can confirm that the stock accordian tube and air box will fit with a Gen V and L67 with adapater plate. (I just did it, but don't recommend it)

    I think that covers it.

    thanks for the help. that answers all my questions. I did the wizaired cai and the ported tb, I also have a tb spacer. the lim came with the gen 5. and the car is a 99 so I think the alternator bracket will be ok.

    Again, thanks for the help.
