I'm yet to blow a pipe.. This is my 3rd turbo car though LOL.. did it on the first one thats for sure.. On all after market style couplers if you don't have tbolts. You can take hairspray and coat the inside of the coupler this will act like glue once it gets hot it not only keeps it on but helps with boostleaks. Good choice on the BR stuff.. I'm paying the price for not going with BR YEARS ago today.. My rnr mani just fell apart

Jrod,

Love all the mods i got from you so far. Looks like i'll be getting a few t-bolts from you in the very near future! By far the best mod is your 3 inch turbo back exhaust, damn that sounds good! You'll be seeing alot more of me, you guys take good care of your customers from what i can tell.

Interesting. I didn't know that. But that is why I carry a shoebox full of the necessary tools in my trunk in case something like this happens. And yes I have been broke down on the side of the highway from my uicp. In the middle of Chicago rush hour traffic. Boy did I feel ashamed.
