It looks exactly like my old 1989 VW GTI and they called it Alpine White L90E paint code but, Maybe it is newer paint code.

Mark,
Overflow isn’t needed, but just one vent on the filler neck and one on the body of the tank, both lines should meet at a T fitting and then a single line up to the IIMUCH VSB.

The problem I run into with the vent hose hooked up to the filler neck is with a full tank when accelerating the fuel goes up the vent hose into the Too Much canister to the point it fills it up and overflows out thru it's vent.

Very interested in your verdict as well, I'm also eyeballing the Tilton ST-246 for my build but haven't seen too many reviews for them.

I had a Mcleod RXT on the shelf but sold it after driving a few that I installed in other people's cars, didn't care for how grabby they were when taking off and also didn't care for the amount of floater rattle in neutral. Hoping the Tilton is better in both areas.

Recently installed a Monster LT1-S twin disc in a supercharged 2006 GTO, and it's a really nice clutch. Drives like a stock GM clutch in terms of effort, engagement smoothness, and noise, but it should-- it's a heavily reworked GM clutch.

Trying to decide between the Tilton ST-246 or a Monster LT1-S triple disc in my car.

The Tilton is dead quite with the clutch pushed in. The pedal force is about the same as the DYAD. The launch is smooth and chatter free most times. If you lug it and don’t give the engine a few revs it can chatter a small amount. If adapted my launches a little and add 500 rpm and it is smooth.

So far the hi rpm reserve is very good. I have not tracked it yet but form the little bit I have drove it I like it. (I only have 200 miles on the car).

DYAD 7.25/10 rating. Negative rattles at idle when it has some miles on it. It too can chatter sometimes. Need a custom throw out bearing. Great high rpm reserve. Work awesome on the track. No issues.

Tilton 8/10 rating Does not rattle at idle. Does not need a special throw out bearing. Had a small chatter at a very soft launch. I have not tracked it yet.
