This started with me building a custom oil catch can and has evolved into rethinking my intake and everything that goes with it.
Whether I go open airbox or home-made FAST system, I plan to add a heat blanket. I've read that the Intake Air Temp sensor can be thrown off as a result. This doesn't make sense, since the air should still have to pass the sensor regardless...what am I missing? Is it relocated below the blanket with the "stock" FAST system for some reason?
I notice that some people are simply attaching two small filter elements to the breather tubes, and there was a kit for the FAST system that involved ONLY the filters. What's the cost/benefit on this? I know what the purpose of the whole process is and the catch can seemed like a good idea, but will the mini-filters clog up quickly or is that just as good as re-routing the lines?
All this thinking and re-thinking is making my head hurt!!!
2005 XB12R, by the way, so I do have the hole in the frame for cool air.
