Default oil-level with TA girdle

How do you check oil level with the TA girdle. Should i use the hole on the girdle or the stock hole?

Yeah, fill it until it runs out the stock hole like. If you overfill it, it should just puke the extra out the vent tube. If your vent is blocked or clogged you could have some serious issues. I've changed mine acouple of times and I fill it once, drive the car, and then check it again. It usually takes alittle more fluid after driving it alittle. Should take just under 2 qts.

You can stop the vent from leaking by putting a hose and remote vent on it:
