arani rey Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 To all those who have inquired, it seems like there's enough interest to at least make another small batch. I'll look at scheduling and come up with a timeline for when additional kits will be available. If you are interested, please send me a PM with your email address and I can notify folks with updates and availability. Thanks. PM sent! Hopefully the interest sticks around to get a batch made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum0203 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Anyone know what kind of wtq numbers on a vf40 this can handle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators BarManBean Posted February 26, 2017 Author Moderators Share Posted February 26, 2017 Anyone know what kind of wtq numbers on a vf40 this can handle? You can't defeat this solution with a vf40. The kit easily holds 25psi or more.

I Donated thefultonhow Posted February 26, 2017 I Donated Share Posted February 26, 2017 Anyone know what kind of wtq numbers on a vf40 this can handle? That's really not how this works. It's psi that blows intercooler end tanks off, not torque. And as BMB implies, you're going to run out of turbo well before you run high enough psi to defeat this kit.

WaRpEd Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Hello, Will this kit require a non-leaking oem TMIC or will it fix a leak I have coming from the short edge on the turbo side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Sometimes it can fix it. Worth a try. Although not guaranteed. I ran this kit on my stock intercooler at 18 psi for years and never had issues with it. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted March 12, 2017 I Donated Too Share Posted March 12, 2017 long time since I had a stock TMIC but when I did and mine was leaking, I used to pinch the tabs tighter with long handled pliers and it fixed the leak so a Bullet Proof kit will do the same and keep them tight. Probably will fix the issue permanently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmoore5 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 If you have the stock TMIC you need this kit, if you can't fix the one you have you will need it for the replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaRpEd Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I found an image of one with the end tanks off and it is just a rubber gasket sealing the edge so as long as that isn't torn, ripped, etc. clamping it closed in any way should fix the leak. Now to see if the gasket on mine is okay or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators BarManBean Posted March 16, 2017 Author Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) In general, over the years there have been many members that have been able to fix damaged TMICs with the kits. Unless the separation is so bad that the internal gasket is coming out, I'd venture that it's fixable. THAT SAID, I do not market the kit as a fix for damaged / leaking intercoolers, mostly because I simply can't guarantee that to be the case whereas I can absolutely guarantee that a properly BP'ed TMIC will not develop leaks due to increased boost pressure. I have a slew of emails in my inbox and will get back to everyone in next couple days. If you need anything related to kits just email me at barmanbean@gmail.com. I have a list going of those who still have interest (no obligation necessary) and will provide full kit details / instructions to anyone who wished to try and make their own.

Moderators BarManBean Posted January 22, 2018 Author Moderators Share Posted January 22, 2018 OK. Large batch of material is cut and ready for machine shop. I'll get it over there this week or beginning of next. As soon as it is at the shop, I'll open up ordering for the number of kits being produced. If it gets anywhere close to filling out, I'll prep more material and drop it off when I pick up the first round from the shop. Thanks to everyone that continues to express interest, I'm sorry for the delays and lack of communication.

Wooosh Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 When I was deciding if I should get a fixit kit or a new cooler I saw a cooler with a fixit kit on the classifieds just a few wks ago. Think it was really cheap too. Browse around in there. If I come across it I’ll post it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
