    NPT brass fitting for vacuum port. Looking forward to seeing pics. I've got a L26 U/L I'm thinking about converting to on my L67. The only thing holding me back is the TB adapter plate and needing new rails since the L67 ones won't clearance. I dislike the tacky M90 block off plate. You are gonna love the turbo kit.

    The vent ontop of the L26 is used for the evap I believe.. its part of sucking out crank case gasses...

    lotsa people leave it open, or even put a little breather hat on it.

    Make sure you blocked the PCV port in the throttle body/adapter so you don't boost your crank case

    You have no option in a turbo setup but to open that to free air and tune for it or over the oil cap. You do have an option in a S/C or N/A setup and there is no reason to put a breather there unless you are running and intercooler which blocks the passage.

    If wanting the most power then go with a cam. If you are ok with only utilizing that power a part of the time then go with rockers.

    We still need pics though. Hows she running?

    A compressor map tells you all that info. What turbo are you running? What's the AR? Typically the higher the AR the longer it will take to get into boost.
    I have a PT-61 that came with the ct kit. With the catback off it starts to build boost at 2600 RPMs. With the exhaust on it's about 3K RPMs when it starts building.
