Crappy picture but this is the Detcan I made. The copper tubing, Fittings and clear hose all came from Home Depot. I bought a cheap mechanics stethoscope from Harbor Freight. This thing should work well when it comes to listening for detonation. I had my girlfriend hold the copper piping and scrap her fingernail on it and I could hear it easily. I have yet to drill a hole in it yet for mounting, unsure of exactly where I'm going to bolt it to at the moment

Aren't bkr7e's 2 steps colder than stock 1.8 plugs? I remember reading somewhere that stock 1.6 plugs (bkr6e) are 1 step colder for a 1.8.
I doubt it matters at all though, that said - I'm running the same plugs in my 1.6.

Ordered a blow off valve tonight. Went with a plastic Bosch unit that Audi uses. Bought it new from a European car parts sight (Volvo Parts, BMW Parts, European Car Parts | FCPGroton.com) brand new for $38 shipped. It will be setup for venting to atmosphere. Ill be running Megasquirt so no need to run it recirculated
