Could be issues with USPS themselves due to the holidays? Ordered mine on the 6th, with no updates on the tracking number ("package awaiting arrival at shipping destination" or something) until I got a delivery notification and received it yesterday.

Received my order, which I had good contact with Omar letting me know status on parts. Should be on it's way for you.. where are you located?

Guess you figured wrong, eh. I just bought PCV delete stuff ala cart from Rob via email.

Vader Solution BOV is elegant, once attached with properly sized Torx fasteners. I'm actually running my low-side PCV under the intake, which is a smart thing to run at that bottom center of the intake if one understands how the PCV system works. I used a Vibrant bulkhead fitting for the low-side PCV with push-loc fittings.

I'm not seeing elegance in a chunk of aluminum sitting on a plastic manifold with a red hose attached. To each of there own.

What sounds sure is that you for whatever reason have a significant chip on your shoulder- and that the non-receipt of email was likely a large blessing in disguise.
I don't have a chip, or up for argument. I enquired about products, I got no reply, it happens. To say your 99.9% sure you answer all emails , I'd say that's far fetched by any vendor. If your getting smashed by 1,000s of emails an hour, like I'm sure you are, then I can see how that one can get over looked. Patting yourself on the back for being the 2018 most email answered award winner, I'd say the chip may be on your shoulder.

I don't see the elegance of drilling a hole in a plastic manifold, and screwing a metal fitting into and sealing it with JB Weld. But everyone does things their own way.

Absolutely, tapping into this plastic manifold is horrible. If there was a reasonable intake out there that was aluminum, it be much more appealing. There cheap and plentiful.
