All connections are correct, it’s a simple straight forward install nothing missed. I’m going to reset the code and see if it’s a fluke.
Small boost leak, fixed it and cleared the code, all good now.

This morning I was doing a pull and towards the top end there was a nice little POW and CEL came on. Scared me for a sec. Pulled the code and it was a 101 for the mass air sensor. I pulled off and cleared the CEL. Then I started it and it ran like crap! It was trying to stall, making a crazy vacuum cleaner noise. I figured nothing was broke or bent so I start driving and finally I got 2 more CEL and the car went into limp. One for the MAF and bank 1 too rich. Got home and found my turbo discharge coupling popped off. :doh:

Trace your way back to see if any connectors is plug back in / hose connected.

4 of us in our group did the installed and none of us had issue.:thumbsup:

Does any one have the correct “R” in a PDF or ? That I could download so I can paint it on my black Intercooler before I do the install with high flow grill change.

Thanks in advance!!

What type of hose clamps did everyone receive? The product page list:

Purchase Includes(1) Intercooler
(1) Mandrel-Bent Aluminum Cold-Side Pipe
(1) Silicone Hot-Side Pipe
(2) Silicone Couplers
(4) High-Torque Worm Gear Clamps
(2) High-Torque T-Bolt Clamps
Mounting Hardware
Mishimoto Lifetime Warrany

I just received my kit and it has 6 worm gear clamps. Will this be an issue not to have the T-Bolt clamps?
That was my mistake on the product page! You should only be getting the high-torque worm gear clamps. We prefer to use the worm-gear clamps here since, not only are they rated to handle the pressure, but as @JLOracing mentioned below, it's very easy to over tighten t-bolt clamps and warp the pipes.

I have been using all worm gear clamps for months with the prototype and no issues at all. The clamps they provide are strong and work well. I dont like using t-bolt clamps on any non cast or billet connections as it is easy to deform the pipe and cause leaks.....then people tend to just tighten more and cause more of a leak.
Always appreciate the input Jason!

Nope these will be fine. They are the same type as the factory ones and that has no problem holding boost. In the process of installing mine now.

Yoooooooooo! Wasssup Baby! Love the kit! I can feel the acceleration is faster around 2500rpm even in comfort mode.. Sports and R mode turns him into a Monster!.. This the first bolt on mod i have done so i can say that this kit has a dramatic and instant effect. Alright next bolt ons will be DP FP and Catback exhaust .Nick we gotta hang mangggg!!!!!
