VCM USA G8 & SS Intake Kit Improvements, PCV Line Relocation Kit and New Accessories
VCM USA has released some improvements and refinements to our OTR intakes!
New Injection Molded OTR Airbox Housings
The new housings are now a two-piece design.
PCV Line Relocation to Eliminate Lean Codes
VCM listened and we've updated the design with a new PCV hose and coupler that relocates the PCV line from the airbox to a nipple on the coupler between the throttle body and MAF. This eliminates the lean code error that some of you have seen due to intake air bypassing the MAF in the old setup and makes tuning easier. All new kits come with this new setup.
Since a lot of you will probably want to upgrade to this new setup we have also made a retrofit kit available here: http://www.improvedracing.com/intake...kes-p-557.html
The kit also includes a plug to cap off the hole left on the air box housing.
Power Steering Pump Reservoir Relocation Bracket and Hose for Magnuson Supercharger Setup
The coupler for Magnuson TVS superchargers now includes a power steering reservoir relocation bracket and hose. This provides more clearance and eliminates interference between the MAF card and power steering pump reservoir.

Side Panels and Infill Panel for Chevy SS and 2012+ PPV Caprice
Side panels are now available for the 2014+ Chevrolet SS and 2012+ Chevrolet PPV Caprice. The infill panel is identical to the G8 infill panel, but requires a little bit of trimming for proper fitment.

New UV Resistant Rubber Couplers
New rubber couplers are now all UV resistant which eliminates the cracking and dry rotting that some of you have seen on the couplers after a few years of use.
All of these new products are already in stock. In fact, if you've ordered within the past month or so, you already received an updated kit!
If you aren't familiar with these kits, they're arguably the best available for the G8 with excellent fit and finish and dyno proven horsepower gains 20-30 HP without a tune.
New Injection Molded OTR Airbox Housings
The new housings are now a two-piece design.
- Provides an air-tight seal around the filter.
- Allows for easy filter removal for cleaning or replacement.
- Housings for the G8, SS, and Caprice are now identical. The only difference between the kits for these vehicles is the mounting hardware.

Not at the moment. The next deal we will have is our annual black Friday sale with 5% off. However, if the Australian dollar strengthens against the US dollar, the intake prices could potentially go up in the future as well.
