This is exactly what their site says "The back plate of the AOS features a unique coolant routing system that heats the entire AOS to the same temperature of the engine. This maximizes the evaporation of any water collecting inside of the can. The hotter the AOS, the less water will collect...
My goodness your still here?? Havent heard tell of you in quite some time lol I dont think it mentions is lol I think I paid close to $500 for the setup
So another little update.
Hooking up the last of the hoses on the AOS.
So the 3 ports. Top and middle go to valve covers and the bottom going to the block where the PCV valve used to be.
The big line on top of the AOS routes next to the mount for the transmission and gets tied...

Yea thats what my Grimmspeed one done. Just wanted to try something different lol I know a few people who run the comp one and love it so I said I would give it a try lol
I agree I think the IAG is awesome. From reviews and talking to other tuners/builders it seems the IAG is the best AOS for sure. Its huge compared to both the Perrin and Crawford. Hopefully this fixes my problem. Thanks for the kind words :) it should be installed by next weekend hopefully!
Another little project I done was the centre console. Plasti dipped the silver piece. So here the start.
Removed boot and painters taped the sides and front.
This is 4 coats in.

PCV valve and splitter removed. My valve had been pretty jammed up with gunky oil. The Grimmspeed aos didnt do its job at all. and what we figure is where the valve was blocked it was building up more pressure and leaking around the seal and causing the GS AOS to not work properly.
Next...
Next was a start on the IAG aos. Here is the AOS laid out. What a beautiful product. Instructions are excellent also.
So first step is to remove the intercooler.
Next there is a line you have to disconnect underneath the overflow tank. Angled needle nose are awesome for this...
