Default For those looking to do the BFI with velocity stacks...

For anyone that is looking to do the egg cup "velocity stack" mod with their BFI, and having trouble finding the stainless steel egg cups near where you live, I may have found a solution.

http://www.fantes.com/egg_utensils.htm

Mine arrived at my house today, so once I get home and can see them in person I will let you all know if they will work! I figure this may be an easier solution then having people ship over egg cups from Austrailia, or by using cat food bowls

Let me know what you guys think. I was hoping to contibute something of my own to the Lexus community after learning so much from everyone else.

i know which ones you are talking about, but the fact that they are too thin at the edge makes the job a little harder or extremely hard to get a perfect fitting because it can just slide back. no?

Yeah, looked over them last night. Not only is the lip on the edge too small for this application, but the diameter of the cup is not large enough as well.

Ohwell, only cost me $10. No one order them

The ones found in the tutorial are, to the best of my knowledge, only available in Austrailia.
