But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

drill through the pancake pipe and the metal part of the hose, should hold it nice and the pancake pipe is broken where the clip goes and it the reason why it popped of, the 29psi of boost wouldn't have helped :lipsrsealed:
