Assuming yours isn't missing a worm clamp for the vacuum caps.. The extras you would need are a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter, 1' of 1/4" vacuum line. All easily found at an auto store like AutoZone, or Oreilly's. You can go even further and secure those connections with either zip ties or really small worm clamps. Nothing serious.

The VRSF pipe is definitely the best bang for the buck, especially the black with the c-clip connection, which is what I have.

I know the ER comes with everything you need. The VRSF stuff was supposed to come with everything but some people had missing stuff in boxes. As someone mentioned before it may have been a packing error and VRSF said if it's missing they will have it sent out just shoot them an email. Regardless of what vendor you buy from VRSF will send out the missing hardware but most found it more convenient to just go to local auto parts store and get it.

The missing clamp in e90Mark's order is most probably, as you said, a packing error.
But from my understanding, most if not all orders are missing the vacuum line and the 1/4 to 1/8 adapter. Correct me if I am wrong.

True. I don't know if they are "missing" as they might just not be including anymore, or never was.

It's an extra $2 at the store. Save yourself the trouble.

Our next batch of CP's are on the way and we've made sure to include the missing items.

I hadn't realized that Tial no longer included vacuum lines with their BOV's which is why the line was missing. The clamp was a mis-communication with our supplier and has been resolved along with the adapter.

The clamp isn't a requirement for the cap since the intake is only under vacuum and the cap is very tight but we've made an effort to fix this on all future orders. The vacuum line and adapters won't be included until we get our next batch of chargepipes in mid-next month.

Either way, the replacement parts cost $2 at Autozone, we'd be happy to reimburse the costs if necessary.

Does the new batch includes stock like DV connection? Thinking about upgrading the pipe when I go FBO, but not really a fan of BOV sound.

Production is finishing up as we speak, I'll have the pre-orders up by Thursday on the website. We're going to express ship about 30 of these to our location which should arrive by the 15th. The rest will be here mid-July.

When you do you expect the 7" FMIC in stock? Just curious since I am about to place an order soon for a friend. Thanks.

The n55 kits aren't supposed to come with vacuum lines nor are they supposed to include the covers and clamps

If you received the caps and the small clamps it was by accident and your order was complete

So for an N54 not wanting to change the BOV, part number N54INT200, choose:
"OEM C-clip black"
"OEM twin DV connection"
"none"

and be plug and play with an upgraded charge pipe?
