Yeah, but I was trying to avoid that. The top piece alone is over $400. I was trying to see if I could put a fitting in there that would work.

Sand it off...tap the hole for a npt type fitting with a barb style on the other end of it...Use a little bit of thread sealant and go to town!

you can get both the 1/4" NPT tap and the 1/4 npt x 1/4" barb fitting at any hardware store....the tap will usually have the size drill bit that you need to use printed right on it....good luck.

I was thinking that, but I don't know too much about it. I was reading about it in a thread by erikthegoalie: https://ls1tech.com/forums/fueling-injection/635292-do-you-really-need-evap-system.html
I have a while to decide before I install it; (saving up enough for my AFR's).

That's exactly what I did, but without the filter.
