-8 or -10 lines ftl. While they may look cool, if you are trying to go fast weight counds. It is nice that they have the overflow setup. I am curious why they are making it s2k specific though.

Just use rubber hose & push-lock fittings to save weight

With that PCV in place you are effectively eliminating that 2nd line when boost is on. Which is the sole purpose of doing all that to begin with.

Adam, look real close at his PCV line. Its going to the catch can also and the intake manifold is capped. It will work this way, but if he pulls the PCV and gets a fitting with a larger ID that will fit in place of the PCV, it'll work even better.

Are you serious?

I can almost guarantee an extra lb or 3 in lines/fittings/can is well worth the offset in weight for the added power you will pick up and engine longevity from the relieved crankcase pressure.

dead serious. Check out what the supra guys all use on their 1khp+ cars. They will use rubber hoses all day to squeeze out that extra et.
