    They are easy to strip out being plastic, I reinstall my with a t-25 bit on a socket and NO ratchet. Just hand tighten is all it needs.

    Once you get the turbo in run a Auto Set up after a few full boost runs, it's on the right side of screen. I then had to move up the Zero and below levels to 18.5 to stop the false alarms on downshifts etc.

    Update!!!
    New tank installed, I added a formed 90 degree hose from PEP Boys and used a 3/8 barb nipple to join the black formed hose to my nice red silicone hose. IMO with a 90 coming off plastic hose nipple the load/weight of hose is not pulling down causing the failure and then I added a zip tie to the vent hose to add additional support to protect the weak small nipple. I like to design and the routing is a little cleaner.

    Even if they molded into the plastic some brass fitting for support would help, but an all metal would be great. I looked at that and it would be expensive to do with all the shapes to fit the area plus they molded the bottom to fit over frame tube.

    FYI,
    On a recent vacation i had the return hose plastic nipple on the overflow tank fail.
    The failure started with coolant flowing into passanger footwell. After disassemble I found a couple things that caused the failure. First the heavy 4 ply silicone hose is a great product but it adds weight to the weak designed plastic nipple on tank, second I routed and zip ties the hose causing a tighter bend than the factory hose had and thrid while running mountains roads and aggressive right hand corners I believe the hose was strained even more from forces from cornering. The leak at first was only happening in right hand corner as the hose was being pulled down the nipple was seperating and blowing coolant down firewall and into footwell. Fix, new tank with a more relaxed routing and better support of the hose or maybe a formed 90 degree hose coming off the plastic nipple. The failure caused my vacation to end early so i wanted to share and ask for ideas and also make sure nobody else has the same failure.

    I had my ECU updated today for the steering EPAS issue and just tested it and my Bob Turbo tune is still there and running awesome. After a short ride I cannot tell if the steering issue is fixed, mine would kick in randomly and by restating SS would clear it. Best way to discribe it, feels like somebody unbolted the sway bar and the front end got loose/free.
    Going into a corner it can make your ass pucker not expecting a total different feel. Fingers crossed this fixes the issue. [tt][/tt]

    The seal for AN and or JIC fittings are called Flare Savers, most hydraulic shops will carry on the shelf. Cheap insurance for a great seal.

    Need to bleed my spongy brakes, I have always done the old fashion buddy system way that's a PIA. Question is the mighty vac style worth the investment or any other suggestions. Second question, has anyone done the Noel procedure of activating the Anti-Locks 5-6 times then extending Pistons out and then bleeding ?
