WTS: VTA Charge Pipe Caps

Hey guys,

I am going to a TiAL BOV, and to do so needed some caps to cap the OE BOV ports (as with VTA on OE BOVs). I couldn't find a quantity smaller than a pack of 50 of the caps. I did not want the red ones that are 5 to a pack.

This is the part: https://www.mcmaster.com/#84735k117/=15hfmg9

They are gloss black as shown in the pictures. I confirmed with Mike at EcoPowerParts that they will work for the caps.

I am wanting to let them go to good use, so $1 per pair + shipping and ill ship ASAP. I am keeping 4 of them, so currently have 46 for sale.

Can get an individual picture of the caps if needed as well. PM me or post here, thanks!

Update: 8 are pending sale. Per the price I offered the two buyers, I will take off $.25 per quantity of 4 so every 4 is $1.75 instead of $2. I can't go lower than that or I'll lose money.

so 2 is $1 +shipping
4: $1.75 + shipping

I went to the post office, and was told cost to ship them, 1, 4, 8, etc. will be ~$3.75 to the contiguous 48 states, including the envelope. It will vary slightly depending on quantity, but I am asking you to add $3.75 for shipping.

I also ask that you include the paypal fee, or send as a gift, as it is BS that paypal make almost 50 cents on something I am not even making money on. I use this site to calulate what the total will be so I get the asking price (http://thefeecalculator.com/)

Basic price breakdown:

2 + shipping + fees is $5.20
4 + shipping + fees is $5.97

I am planning to ship out the two sets of 4 tomorrow afternoon, if payment is cleared by then. If anyone else wants them in that batch, please PM me before noon tomorrow so that I can get you all squared away.

Thanks guys!

P.S. Please be sure to tell me how many you want when you PM me
Update 2: 8 are sold, leaving 38 caps. 2 sales are pending at the current time.
Update 3: 10 are sold, leaving 36 caps. 1 sale are pending at the current time. Planing to ship this afternoon, get with me by 4pm and yours could go out today as well!

A sound solution!  GLWS.

Thanks! Hopefully this will help the next guy who just wants two or 4 or some quantity much smaller than 50 lol.

Also, if anyone wants more than two I'll work with ya on price. Not trying to make crazy money on them, just cover the cost of the 46 I don't need.

I need to nail down the best way to ship these.

For anyone else interested, please include your zip code in the PM so I can get a shipping estimate.

Currently 8 are pending sale, 38 remaining.

EDIT: 4 sold, 4 pending, 38 remaining.

This is exciting!

It sure is, didn't realize there were as many people interested in VTA as there are, another sale is pending, so currently atleast 6 are pending, 4 are sold, 36 remaining.

I'm off to bed, but will reply to any PM's/posts when I wake up.

Basic prices with the fees are posted above. Any transaction made and paid for before noon tomorrow will be shipped tomorrow. Thanks again guys!

Also please make sure to send me your address at some point during the transaction so I can actually send you the caps without delay.
 
They are certainly quality high temp caps but mine came in orange a while back and the black caps do look cool though, pics below.
If you don't sell them soon you can always try QVC next time,LOL. GLWS.  :)

Thanks Z!

I wanted to keep my car with my full "blacked out" theme, so I just couldn't accept any color other than black for my caps! I may have to try QVC lol.

I am waiting on payment/full address info from two of our fine members (one for 4 caps; one who didn't specify, so I need that as well) so there are still two sales pending.

I have one set of 4 packed up and for sure shipping this afternoon. If anyone else wants them, and wants them shipped today, get with me by noon today!

Thanks again guys!
 
Two sets of 4 caps shipped at 12:45 today.

That leaves 38 caps, and there are currently two sales pending (one for two caps, one for unknown #).

If anyone wants them shipped today, I may be able to run by the post office again, but get with me before its too late. Otherwise any subsequent sales will ship Monday.

Glad that there is so much interest in these!

Update: 2 more sold. Will attempt to ship them this afternoon. Anyone else interested, let me know and I'll get yours out at the same time.
 
14 Caps are currently sold, with two pending sales (same unknown # sale, and a sale of 4). Remaining caps at this time  are 32 (including those for the sales pending).

Next shipment is going out Monday, if you want yours shipped Monday, get with me ASAP.

Thanks guys!

Update/Edit: 4 more sold. 18 gone, 2 sales pending (4 and unknown number), get them while they are hot!

Update/Edit #2: 4 more sold. 22 gone, 1 sale pending (4 caps), the 50 pack is starting to look pretty light!!!!
 
Sunday Bump:

26 sold, 4 sets going out tomorrow, if you want yours to ship tomorrow get with me today!

I finally counted the actual package, and it appears they shorted me by 3...which is kinda a pain, as the total with the ones I am keeping, what is shipped, and what is packed waiting to ship, is actually only 47 caps, not 50 :/.

At the current time, there are 17 remaining... I will call them tomorrow to see about getting the other 3, since I did pay for them!

But for now, I have 17 ready to pack and ship (4 orders of 4, 8 orders of 2, or some mix there-in).

Thanks again guys!
 
4 more caps pending.

17 remaining (4 most likely sold), leaves 13 up for grabs. Plan to ship between noon and 4pm EST tomorrow, so get with me before noon if you want yours to go out tomorrow.
 
4 more sold!

13 remaining, and planning to ship out the current batch at ~2pm this afternoon. If anyone else wants theirs to go out today, get with me ASAP!

Thanks again guys, and glad to be able to help so many of ya go VTA in style!

Update/Edit 1: The first two packs that shipped are due for delivery today, (i would bet the third is as well, but I left the tracking number/receipt from shipping in my car...). Anyone wanting shipped today has ~2 hours left.

Update/Edit 2: Talked to McMaster Carr, wow they have amazing customer service. I emailed, because I hate making phone calls, and told them that my pack was short 3 caps, and asked that they refund the cost per unit, as I felt it would be too much of a hassle to have them pack 3 caps and ship them. They instead said they are shipping another pack, that should arrive tomorrow, not sure if hybrid size or 50 more. Either way, I will keep this thread going until I am out of caps, in order to help the most members out. I may take an extra few out of this secondary pack, just to have a few more spares.

Going to the post office ~2 still, if you want yours out today, get with me by noon!
 
20 caps shipped out across the nation as of 2:26.

The lines at the post office are getting long, so if you still have christmas stuff to ship, I recommend getting on it ASAP, especially since time is short before you'll be forced to pay for express to make it on time...

Back to caps: 13 are remaining in the pack I have sitting in my garage. IDK how many more McMaster Carr sent, but those will be up for grabs as well most likely. Anyone interested just shoot me a PM, and I'll get you taken care of!
 
Just wanted to update, still have 13 from the first pack, and a second pack on the way.

I also attempted to go VTA, the caps  perfectly, BUT, I do not have a proper sized clamp to hold them on (I didn't trust the OE clamp from the front) - The caps are a bit thinner than the OE hose. For the rear it is a hassle to get to, so I just said screw it and left it as is. I will go VTA with the TiAL BOV, and until then stay stock recirc. That way its more special!

All orders that shipped friday have been received by the buyers.
 
2 more sets made it to their destination, 3 scheduled for delivery tomorrow!

I got another pack from McMaster Carr, haven't counted yet but it looks to be a full pack, possibly a bit more. So 63 or so caps up for grabs at this point.

PM me if your interested!
