Hello AG,
I wanted to share a modification I did to my vac n blo, and maybe could help someone in the same situation as me. I wanted a vac with hepa filtration, a powerful car vacuum, as well as a blower in the smallest package available and I first ordered the vac n blo not knowing it came without a hepa filter, well after searching AG and finding the similar model labeled as ov4 came in the same shape size, etc just with a hepa filter. This helps me greatly because I can use it for the house and it works wonders at catching the dust. It is hepa certified so you will be getting a real hepa filter placed in a good location inside the vacuum.
Well.... now that was taken care of, I wanted a powerful blower, but didn't have to want to carry around another tool, not that this will replace it by any means (you will still need a master blaster for most power). Well, a phone call away with metro and I was on the way to ordering a master blaster front cap and heavy duty 10ft hose for the master blaster. The only mod was required was to drill larger holes for the end cap. This hose and outlet of the master blaster cap turned this small machine into a BEAST!
Just a note, while my vac wasn't a vac n blo, it shares the same canister so you can mod yours too should you need more power. I wasn't able to measure power of the blower on paper, but in real life blowing the car out and the garage became much more easily. You will notice a huge difference in power output of the blower. Im not sure if its the extra seal that comes with the cap, or the hose, or maybe both but the difference is something you will notice right away.
Pros: Stronger power of the blower, dedicated hose for blowing only (since your buying a heavy duty hose), no leaks (the master blaster end cap, has an extra gasket around the seal), very compact yet powerful, if your not looking to roll around the master blaster everywhere this may be an added benefit if your looking for extra power. The intake side still uses the smaller hose which is better for vacuuming out cars since its more compact. You get 5 year warranty with the hepa filter.
Negatives: Cost $61, the blower port of your hose will only fit 1.5" hoses/accessories.
I love modding! Here is a picture of the different end caps:

Not sure how I can do a demo, however I can dry half the car in under a min with this setup. Talk about time savings!
