Default New Adventure: Meth by Sam (By Design Auto)

So the mod bug got to me. After working with Sam for a few weeks I have come to the conclusion that he is a tuning wizard. He definitely has earned my trust and confidence. Below are some goodies that just arrived. I am currently waiting on a set of By Design 3” turbo inlet pipes 😱 as well as a Do88 Ypipe. I will post updates and pictures as I progress through the install and testing process.

Crack pipe! I’ll help you every step of the way buddy, and I’m enjoying the journey with every one we do and every friendship we create. We all appreciate you sharing it so others can look and be more confident about tackling this on their own.

Nice!
That's the tank I went with, a little extra capacity.

love the capacity! Just need to figure out how to get it set in the frunk. Sam has given me a few ideas.

Not many options unless you create a custom bracket to fit it front to rear.
Mine is mounted left to right which works for me.
edit: additional thought, it might be possible to grind down the edges of the brackets to make it inside the trunk from front to rear.
I know it is very close based on measurements I took.

Thats my plan. To bend 2 of the flaps parallel to the tank and only bolt down 2 flaps. It’s a super tight fit. Which should hold the tank in place.

Gotta give credit to AIM, their tech did a nice job.
I'm as dedicated as the next guy to do a clean install and they met my expectations.

I’m facing the tank front to back. My understanding was that you could not put the tank sideways. I have bent one side of the clamps. It creates a nice tight compressed fit with the frunk. I will bolt in the side facing the rear of the car.

That looks good.
I don't worry too much with the pickup on the passenger side, I always check the tank before venturing out when looking for trouble.

My next challenge. Which vacuum line to run. I’m thinking the larger one will be a pita.
