My Engine compartment (prior to my turbo piping replacing the CAI) looked very, very similar to yours - except for the stickers. I got my elbow from Summit. Also, I was able to plumb my Meth injector into the bottom of the elbow - that is one benefit of using metal vs. plastic...

The 1LE is the best option, imo, and retains the stock appearance. Jason Cromer at Sam Taylor Buick Cadillac in Fort Walton Beach Florida.

But the 1LE is rubber like the factory correct ?



n2ocamaro I really like the one you got. Does vortech sell them seperately or is it with some sort of kit? Also what TB do you have?

It is rubber. Is that a problem? I know it has a larger cross section than most aftermarket elbows.

Nice, what kinda wires you got. I like how they are on top of the valve covers.

They are Over The Valve Cover Wires or OTVC for short.

Google - LT1 OTVC wires - and you will find info on them, I am sure a few sponsors here sell the kits. I did mine when i did my LT headers. If you do use them I also reccomend the heat socks for the protection of the wires.

Sounds like a good idea about the socks. I was looking at the passenger side wires and they are squeezed in there below the alternator. Looks like its gonna be fun changing them out.

OTVC is only good on headers. You can not use them on manifolds. Here is how I routed my wires and I did not use heats socks because I don't like how they look.

I plan on doing my plugs and wires soon. I have hooker headers on the car so I can do it right.

Yes, they are sold separately. That is how I bought mine. My TB is a ported stocker (52mm). The plate on top is from MBA Products. I got it at Thunder Racing
