My Jeep runs like a champ. It's bone Stock 78000 miles. I have been running the ORM for about 10,000 miles, and I'm pretty happy with that. I have NO MORE SMOKE ON HEAVY TAKEOFF. That was a huge problem before obviously. My turbo hoses are getting old and one of them is original. I decided to try the OHM to see what to expect. I cut the hose too short first of all, so I have whitish smoke coming into the engine bay during idle. Even if I lengthen the hose, I'm not sure I want that smoke coming out of anywhere but the exhust. (Seems kind of white trash to me... sorry for those of you that are cool with it. I don't mean that you're white trash) I can just picture my wife running from the car thinking that it is on fire. It's cold too, so I have no idea what that will look like after a run on the highway in the summer. It may have been just me, but I do feel like I took off pretty darn quick though with both the OHM and the ORM together. Perhaps I am fooling myself. I will provent if I can, but I already need a front DS, a thermostat, turbo hoses, and the turbo itself seems to be leaking from the return line. It's all adding up. |

Oil spots on the driveway is another problem. Time to make an oil separator or shell out for a Provent. Lots of posts lots of choices like a Buffet, don't go away hungry. I made mine from 2" PVC pipe and 3/4" barbed fittings and stuffed it with coarse steel wool. Just use low pressure hydraulic hose instead of the cheap Tygon from the hardware store, it will shrink and get hard. Good Luck |

Buying some more hose and extending it down the driver's side by the brake lines is no big deal, IMHO. A little smoke makes it kind of threatening, lol. Here is a place you can get a good deal on a Provent, if you decide to go that route. About $50 cheaper than anywhere else. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=43828&hilit=Provent |
