When there is a will, there is always a way. Whether or not it is worth doing it is another topic altogether but I am sure you could get it to work. Pull the intercooler, cut the existing BOV extension off, and then weld in whatever adapter comes with your chosen BOV.

I just looked up the specs for the Vortech and it's only 38mm vs the Tial 50mm. I wonder if cramming the same amount of release air thru the smaller Vortech is what causes the whistle tips sound. Also, I am sure 38mm is enough opening to release the unused air in most applications but I would...

If you are searching for a new BOV due to not having great sound, then you probably have the Precision Turbo BOV that ESS use to sell with their kits as recent as last year. ESS now sells the kits with the Tial. However, the Tial is the "upgrade" BOV and they also offer a cheaper Summit BOV that...

I wrapped mine in carbon fiber. ~$20 Amazon. Easily installed with a heat gun. Did this back in 2019 and it's still holding up to this day with no issues.

While the Vortech Maxflow will satisfy your obnoxious BOV desires, the Tial Q50 is a direct bolt-on and pretty loud in it's own right without sounding like Oakland whistle tips. IYKYK :crackup:

The transmission will have to learn again because it will be wiped when loading the new tune but it drove great immediately for me compared to my previous tune. I could tell the tune was much better right at the very first start.

You nuts! 🥜 :crackup: Do whatever makes you sleep better at night then. I was just saying my car has had E85 continuously since 2019 without ever doing any fuel maintenance, additives, swapping back to 93, etc. Your car will be fine.

Then just get it tuned with your E70 fuel that you primarily use and keep the 93 on the back burner like I do. You not going to keep switching back/forth because 93 sucks! It makes less power, black soot all over your tailpipes/bumper, and smells like 💩. The cold weather argument is overrated as...

I will let others answer most of this but I was previously tuned by (insert another popular tuning company name here) and although the car ran great at the track, the overall drivability always bugged me. It wasn't stalling or anything like that but just cruising around was not enjoyable. It's...

Here is what I dreamed into reality back in early 2023 with off-the-shelf parts and a single cut on the ESS MAF-to-TB pipe. This is assuming it is Cobra Jet with an OVAL throttle body. I use a VMP Mono 137 but any of them should be similar for this purpose. Hopefully you are not one of those...

As respectfully as I can possibly be, I got to ask, did you not install the ESS kit yourself? If you don't know what the belt tensioner is, it is probably best to take it to a shop, especially if you "don't wanna mess anything up". :like:

First, what app is that? Second, not sure where you live but if the Fuel Monitor is the only test Not Ready, then it will still pass in states like Virginia. I assume you tried all the driving cycles/conditions to get all the monitors into Ready state? I personally could never get the Fuel...

Your concern about sending unit accuracy is still valid, hence the cost difference between an Autometer or AEM gauge versus a Glowshift gauge. :like:

A digital boost gauge still has a direct vac/boost reference. They come with a separate unit that usually remains mounted somewhere in the engine bay that you run a vacuum line to. Then that unit reports to the gauge via a dedicated data cable that you run from the engine bay into your dashboard...

Yeah, don't give up on it. In the end, it is worth it no matter which method you require to get Active working. The difference between Track Mode and Quiet/Cop Mode is almost like night and day. And that is with Kooks catless headers and full 3inch pipes front to back (no neck down on my setup).

Sorry, plug/play only works if you have the harness already. If look around the posts in this thread, you can find ways others have made it work when no harness was present. It can be done but much more involved without the harness.

WENGERD tuned. Seriously, it drives like stock but will stain your underwear at 8,000+. :cwl: Don't choke your CJ with a stock throttle body! I run a VMP 137 Monoblade and it also has Stage 2 cams. I dreamed this intake setup into reality and went with ESS solely to keep everything my car...

My car runs cool and IATs are great with the PP radiator, 170 Reische T-stat, and G4 cooler.

I did the install solo at home using a loaner bearing press tool from AutoZone. Removing/installing the arms is the easy part. It was a battle pressing the stock bushing out and pressing the new bearings in. The second time I did the swap, I just simply bought new arms with Cortex bearings...
