    Baggy pants at your local junk yard goes a long way

    It's very very easy to made the boot work on your car. Post a WTB ad for a T-shaped ICV, will probably cost $25 shipped. Next get a piece of brake booster rubber hose and eliminate the Y'd off pipe that goes in to your stock intake boot. No big deal at all!

Just change the ICV and a new check valve and your set. You can return it if you'd like but the combined shipping would probably be more then a second hand ICV and a new valve.
    Yeah well to be honest I am still just learning about the m20's. still a noob when it comes to these things so was mostly going off the picture in the first post. I didn't realise they would be different to the ones pictured, I read somewhere in the thread that the first batch were scrapped and changed for the new ones but I assumed you were referring to a change in materials used not design :/ should of made it a bit clearer for us noobs out here IMO but yeah I won't bother returning it due to cost, might look into this swap that you are talking about. All pod though, not your fault, it was my ignorance that is at fault :/ I will get my head around these motors eventually lol

    Hey Nigel, I'd say start a new thread in the parts FS section with a simple description, pic, and price.

    Boots are in. Started shipping today. I miscounted how many check valves i have in stock so I ordered some more. Let me know if any of you guys just want to source the valve at your dealer. Check valve info here.

    The tooling cost is about $600 per design plus a 25 piece minimum order. Not enough interest to make it worth developing. After shipping and Paypal fees I barely break even. Not worth fronting a couple grand for 2% return after a year or to of trying to sell them. I chalked up the bad sales of the first run due to it being an early model "i" design. If it takes me a year to sell the new style then it will be the final production run.

    Check out ocgrinders build thread. That's how we did his.
