Well, here's an updated pic of my car. The spoiler's going back on, but I need help holding it up while it gets bolted:

Here's the lonely spoiler:

soooo lonely...


Anyways, here's the breather filters:
The first one is by Ractive.

And the second one is a K&N style breather with the Fiero logo on top of it.

So, which filter do you like better?

I like the Fiero one better, but try them out and see which one leaks the least first.

The chrome one is just a big piece of foam inside the housing, and the fiero one is acutally like a K&N style filter. So, I don't think either of them will leak.

Thanks on the compliments, but it's still not firing. It's going to the shop on Wednesday.

I like the K&N filter style better.

Sorry to change the subject, but how are you enjoying your turbo powered duke? Is it everything you expected? Details, details, please

Just a general comment on breathers with a turbo engine. You get much more crank case blow-by with the greater cylinder pressure. That valve cover will become oil soaked before long. I found out the hard way. I also used the K&N filters on both cover (3.4l DOHC). I now have a JAZ racing products crank breather catch can that seperates the oil from the air. Let us know how that thing runs.

I like the K&N hehe, the other looks kind odd on the all blue engine.

Sounds like Matt may know what he is talking about, you may want to look into that catch can
