Hey Everyone,
I had a chance to meet up with Localboy (Randy) while vacationing in Hawaii last week. The wife and I drove over and were greeted with beer and pizza! We had a blast meeting up with him and checking out his newly supercharged MM. Here are some pics. Enjoy.

Nice install Randy, everyone knew you could do it. Now just get some headers or Cobra manifolds on there and then learn how to fly, because your MM surely will.

I can almost smell the sweet air and feel the ocean breeze cut through the heat of the sun.
Good job Braddah. Nice of you to pay a visit to our resident Islander.

Do you have an air box?

FIT kit's don't have air boxes, the filter is just "there." Great job Randy, glad she's up and running.

Thanks guys for the kind words...
I have since replaced all my collars with blue silicone one's, and have added a Optima Blue top, for a final touch...
Thanks Derek for the pics, but most of all, Thanks for stopping by...It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife...You two, are very nice people, and I look foward to seeing you two + the baby next time...Please plan to stay for dinner, and more beer, next time, as well...I had fun...
As for people pics...
Dereks camera could not fit me in the frame...LOL:rofl::rofl::rofl:
The "Samoan" comment is an inside joke, I'am Hawaiian...
Thanks again Derek, and all of you guys, for the Props...
Representing this MM Community, in the ALOHA State....:beer:

BTW: Just in case, some of you were wondering...If you look at the first pic...You will notice some white dots on the corner light...If you look closely, you will see that it is actually the Hawaiian Islands...
Got to represent Da Hawaiians...:beer:
Funny part is Derek first thought it was just white paint that splatered on the light, and wondered why I didn't remove it...LOL
We had a great time...:wave:

Get that Trilogy yet?
There is a cannister with a gauge and clear tubing on top in front of the brake fluid reservoir. What is it, please. I don't believe I've ever seen this device before. Post #1, 5th picture down.
Thanks,

Oh Randy BTW, the head unit looks amazing! From when I had it, to now, it actually looks like it could pass for a polished unit.

That would be the Brake Vacuum Canister. We put one on Eds car too. Basically, when you are in boost and need to brake real quick, it acts as a holding tank for extra brake boost.

That ^^^ is correct...It provides vacum for the brakes during times when vacum is low and/or not present...(ie: under boost or just before boost + emergency braking, stalled (broken) motor while at speed.... It's just an emergency back up...The gauge tells me that it is holding vacum, and the "system" is working properly...
BTW;It is not clear tubing ( vac. hose), probably just the flash or something...
Thanks Jarod...It took me a while to buff that Bad Boy out...Just could not mount it...looking the way it did...

Haha....I thought it was paint splatter when I first saw it, but I didn't want to say anything.
