The water tank is going in the car. I do not have that moment yet so I do not have pictures.
The valve covers are made by Moroso.

Where do you think those ebay people got their idea from? Everything from blowoff valves to wastegates and turbo kits are knockoffs designed to look like something namebrand. They fooled you enough to make you think they were ebay covers in which they are not.

3" cross over pipes? I thought those wouldn't work on an LS Glad to see someone else running "large" cross overs

The blue is of a Subaru WRX.I've had the crossover done for a while.If I was to build the kit right now I would do it with 2.5" crossovers.
