I was wondering if it would be possible for me to make my own air assist for my LED. I read that the hoses that Adrenaline uses are the same as the cocker hoses. Do any of you know if there is any special fittings inside of the gun that need to be installed,if so what are they, and can i buy them. I Have read many threads about the air assist, and I know that many of you think that it does nothing, but I don't care. I just want to know if there is any way to custom make your own. Or if anyone knows where I could buy one, that would be great too.
thanks

I was wondering about that too. I don't want to send my gun in to Adrenaline and pay 700 bucks, but I want some of the nifftey upgrades.

Ok, I am an Adrenalin owner...and for you 2 guys...it is spelled ADRENALIN notice there is no "e" in that. Second, there are some hoses and fittings inside the marker that are attached to the 14-way (I believe). A couple short straits and a 'y' fitting for sure are in there. Third, I hope you know alot about the 14-way, how it works, and how you might be able to hook it up without screwing with the performance. Forth, I hope you have a great machine to mill out the hole in your high rise (you will need a high rise) and your high rise is thicker then most. Fifth, I hope you can figure out the correct angle to mill your hole out at so that is actually does what it is supposed to do.
As far as it working or not. I think it does work. I think is does help.
Other then what I have said, I think you should send it to Adrenalin to get the work done. They do great work and are really good guys to talk to and work with in my experience. I would not recommend that you do it yourself.
Otherwise, good luck.

well from what i've heard, it's not worth it,
and why would you really want to bother with this? for what it will cost you, you could probably get a new force fed loader, atleast an evo2

we must tell why its not worth it not just say its not.the reason it isnt recomended is that the hose that uses the waste air from the 14 way is backing up air in the 14 way slowing it down.by doing this mod it causes back pressure in the 14 way as well as causing turbulance in the feed neck.

well i didnt know that part, but the part which i was basing it off was that i've heard that there's no noticeable difference in feed rates,
and now that you post this info it's definately not worth it :)
