The brass nipple coming into contact with the top of the water pump was supposed to have been corrected by Elite. If I understand correctly they reworked their diverter design to have the nipple seat further into the diverter. I'm curious to see if you have any issues

Good news: I received my catch can

Bad new: I believe they sent me the wrong one. The online receipt shows that I purchased the E2X Can (E2X-A1DVP20) but the receipt in the box has LT1 V8 (E2X-A1DVP17). I also didn't receive the brass nipple. Now I have to wait again.....

Great post and info guys! Any tips on lifting the super charger? Does it take a pry bar at certain points to break it free or does it simply lift up with ease?

I wonder if I can place a right angle quick disconnect on the diverter instead of the barb? I will have to check it out once I get mine.

Low torque spec, it's an easy lift.

I lift mine alone by hands
Easy
The gold part is screwed inside the silver with Teflon
I think you may work another connection like quick disconnect if you have one...
Still have to lift to switch PCV....

How did you guys connect the hose to the intake and connector? I understand you are suppose to drill a hole into the stock intake for the plastic elbow but I have a roto-fab intake. Is it the same process?

Someone on this forum found a T-fitting that would allow you to replace the L-shaped fitting on the RF. Not sure what size but if you find the post I believe it’s in the thread

I watched a video of someone who put a T-fitting and that's exactly what I'm looking for. I really don't feel like drilling a hole into the intake

No additional drilling necessary. They work like a charm. As inexpensive as they are , you would think that the CC manufacturers would include them in their kit as opposed to instructing you to drill into your CF or composite intake tube.

There are 10 of them, but for $11, you can share them with your friends.

Thanks!! Yeah, I wasn't expecting to drill into my new intake to install a catch can. I agree that they should consider using the tees in their kits
