[QUOTE="slo-ride, post: 736405, member: 14600"] I built it pretty much like the link to the previous, previous thread stated. I think in that photo (the one you may be comparing to) the actual tubes that connect to the throttle bodies were not shown. So...it looks a bit neater than mine. I just used plain ol' water because the relationship between the rise and fall of a column of water and the pressure required to do so (in other words...how much pressure does it take to raise water 1 inch) is well known. Plus, I'm cheap and didn't want to buy anything else. This was a fun project. Just a side note...I used pipe dope to seal all the joints. As the joints cure, fumes are exhausted both to the inside and outside of the pipes. The inside fumes are trapped so purge the entire system with water first in order to force the fumes out. I did this by sucking on one end of the tube and, by doing so, got a fully inhaled breath of fumes which is how I discovered them. Live and learn. :dribble: [/QUOTE]
