> [@Motocrossx23](#): > > ^I definitely know him lol. He was my high school technology teacher, I remember when he bought his e30 back when I was going to school. I just saw him the other day at a DITB meet, his car is super clean. He’s a great fabricator to boot. He’s one of the main reasons why I choose to go in Tech Ed for a career. ahh good ole mr. koprevich…i havent talked to him in years lol ---

Added a line clamp for the oil feed line and installed the EGT fitting into the manifold. The schedule 10 should be thick enough to not weld a bung on there, time will tell. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/breatherpackagetray01.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/breatherpackagetray01.jpg) Powdercoated coolant pipes installed, you can also see where I am going to weld the BOV flange on. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/breatherpackagetray02.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/breatherpackagetray02.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/breatherpackagetray03.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/breatherpackagetray03.jpg) Steph’s baffled catch can installed. You can kinda see how the lines route now. One more line comes from the bottom of the catch can to the exhaust scavenger, which will be after the WG return and flex section. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/breatherpackagetray04.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/breatherpackagetray04.jpg) A shot of the line feeding the catch can and also notice the brake booster check valve installed in-line. Again, trying to keep it ultra clean looking, this time line mounts to firewall. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/breatherpackagetray05.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/breatherpackagetray05.jpg) Rear **_PACKAGE TRAY_** dyed black and installed. Instead of factory mounting I simply chose to use 2 stainless self-tapping screws in the front and clips in the back. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/breatherpackagetray06.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/breatherpackagetray06.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/breatherpackagetray07.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/breatherpackagetray07.jpg) Lastly for tonight: Back Glass. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/breatherpackagetray08.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/breatherpackagetray08.jpg) ---

Nice. What did you use to dye the Package Tray…? I hear the SEM paint works well. I was thinking about the off the shelf RIT dye from Joanne Fabrics but that can be tricky to work with. Looks really good. ---

It was just a carpet spray dye from autozone, then some flat black paint, because it was there. LOL. ---
