Moderators BarManBean Posted February 7, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted February 7, 2013 I sent payment today as well. Hopefully, this will hold up to 21 psi of boost on an E85 tune.

dukeneverwinter Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 How much Massaging with a mallet should be required for this kit? On my 08 outback xt It was a chore to get these on. Broke a strap first, then pulled out 'ye ol mallet o rubber' to seat them. Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke a strap first, then pulled out 'ye ol mallet o rubber' to seat them. Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2 That sounds about right. On the handful of kits I've installed I've always used a regular hammer with wood blocks or a good rubber mallet. The kit is designed to fit tightly.

I Donated bucko3the7man Posted February 10, 2013 I Donated Share Posted February 10, 2013 Looks like I'll be buying one of these for my next intercooler Unless this will fix the old one but I don't think it's how it works lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that you could clamp it back down and install the kit, but I don't recommend it and I can't really offer any support. Track down a new TMIC for ~$50 and just call it a day.

Moderators BarManBean Posted February 11, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted February 11, 2013 napa, amazon ([ame=http://www.amazon.com/Lisle-30950-Joint-Banding-Tool/dp/B0002SRCZQ]here[/ame], or I prefer [ame=http://www.amazon.com/OTC-4623-Joint-Banding-Cutter/dp/B00063XX5U]this one[/ame]). I also think that some autozone's rent them for "free" (you pay for it, then return it when you're done through their rental program).

The response to this has surprised the hell out of me, and I finally feel like I have a good grasp on keeping them in stock now that I have a better relationship with the machine shop.

Moderators BarManBean Posted February 17, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted February 17, 2013 Blech. If you take a pair of vise grips and try to massage everything back into it's right place I'd be interested what the result would look like. Might be an opportunity to test whether the kit would work on a jacked up TMIC...

Might be an opportunity to test whether the kit would work on a jacked up TMIC... I would be willing to do that. I'll have it leak tested tomorrow when it goes to motive for LCA bushings. If they detect the leak there then i'll see about doing that, but I need to be able to reproduce a control test before I can do experimenting. Scientific method!
