Straight Silicone couplers FTL. I learned the hard way a long time back as well. Now you know! Go get some good couplers now!

It's what scheides left on the car... not his fault I didn't inspect them when I got it... & I have learned so much since I first bought it. Got new ones on the way from MAP!

Ya, that's what came with that FMIC kit that I got after selling my buschur core/piping kit. Sorry man, if I would have known I wouldn't have left them on there They came attached to the pipes on either side (if I remember correctly?)...I hardly remember touching them.

Boost leak tests FTW! I found a big one on my evo this weekend, time for moar powa...

Re: Found my boost leak

What do you mean straight silicon? Straight like no reinforcements, or no "flex bubble" or whatever they're called?

Re: Found my boost leak

I meant straight as just in just straight silicone with no reinforcement in them. I've ran them in the past on my old 2G, and blew them all out.

"Hump" hose works fine as long as it is reinforced. I've use those in the past.
