Hey Guys

Just trying to install my FMIC and the pipping is close to touching my down pip...

How hot can grade lightweight aluminum get before its starts to melt?

Thanks Guys

I'm getting new hose clams this week as the bunnings one suck!!!

T-bone should give me better seals...

How can I tell if there are leaks?

I have not touched the vac lines since you installed the kit man but I'll check anyway..

She stalled in the middle of traffic yesterday and would not start for about 30secs

Yeah I've brought as set of T-bolts aimre

you should hear a hisssing noise if there was a leak in the vac.
