If you go for the extended manifold, with the BOV connected to it and with a "input" quick connect on the dil side, you should consider putting an "output" quick connect on your O2 side.

This way, you can connect the O2 side to the dil side, giving you access to O2 in OC mode without an extra O2 regulator.

Somewhat off topic (but thats been done anyhoo, so hey)

Hi Peter,

I dont wish to criticise, but the above config. seems rather odd. If you are relying on your inboard o2 for OC then you don't have enough gas / redundancy... if the o2 blows for example. I mention this as I have lost my inboard o2 before - so yes it DOES happen.

So, why would you reccommend such a config / option?

The reason I ask is the APD QD's are quite a good failure path if NOT connected - at least IMHO. But hey, YMMV.
