i hav no snorkel attached to my airbox. i circled the filter. that's looking up at the air box from the fender. so this whole time i think i've been using air that is more direct from the engine bay..
another thing i noticed. actually my bro noticed..
thats the t-tap that hooks up the boost line. it wasnt tightened with anythin and he tugged on the line, and it came right off. i guess trd felt it wasnt necessary to include somethin to tighten these lines down
. but he's giving me the white clamp that u see on the left. it should hold it much better then the stock.

they tap into the vaccum line. lets the BPV know when to release/close. same line is used to tap for a boost gauge or turbo blow off valve. that line sees boost pressure, so eventually, it'll slip off if i didnt change it and zip tied it.
i still gota go back and check the line to the BPV and check some other things i never got a chance to look at.

If I'm not mistaken the reflash has something in it so that you'll be ok. I wouldn't drive it hard though, the flash will keep you're engine safe in almost any condition, trust me I've tried almost everything you can do on just the reflash.

ok good, cause i don't wanna drain it and refill it. The S/C kit comes with badges and emblems right? Do you guys put them on or keep you car sleeperish without it?
Also, what do you guys think of the NST Supercharger pulley and the ZPI racing supercharger pulley? Which one is better?

i hear NOTHING but good things about the NST pulley with 9.5 lbs of boost... i have seen a couple of blown motors with the ZPI 9 pounder, but that may have more to do with the fact they first to market, and all the bad stuff went down with the first batch...

the dealership i got mine installed said if i wanted to get an aftermarket pulley put on, they would do it and hinted that i should let them do it rather than anyone else because the master tech there tq's everything to spec. i had a CAI on mine and so i had to bring a bag full of the parts from the old airbox. they uninstalled my CAI and used the parts i provided; everything was returned to me.
