Duker Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Finally got around to installing mine. The rails took a bit of convincing but it was a very good/snug fit. And BarManBean was even nice enough to include a couple extra SS zip ties for me because I'm all the way up here in Canada, and he even followed up with an E-mail to make sure I got my package. Also the instructions were top notch and very thorough. If you are not buying an aftermarket TMIC, I think pretty much everyone should get this mod. I installed this because I am planning to go either stage 1 or 2 soon, but even at stock levels I noticed a bit of separation on my TMIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially knowing that I busted the first one that I installed. Luckily there were extra zip ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmowry Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 FYI, I'm currently getting an 18G Cryotune e-tune using a bullet proof kit. Not sure if I'll get the tune completed in the next couple weeks as Dave (cryotune) is going on vacation. He can chime in once we're wrapped up to see how the TMIC handles 18G boost. Worst case I upgrade to another TMIC, but hey, in the name of science, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ras06LGT Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Just ordered up a kit! Currently running 18 PSI on a 16G and the tabs are starting to bend out a bit, so I want to catch it before it blows completely apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ras06LGT Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Got the kit installed this weekend. Everything arrived in great shape, and was super easy to install. The short, front side near the turbo was a bit worse than I thought, so hopefully I caught it in time by installing this kit. Very satisfied - thanks!

TheBlackPearl Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I made all the rails for my BP kit after/at work today! But I made it all out of 1/2" wide channel...Doh! (Was wondering why there was so much slop, lol) Guess I'll re-do tomorrow :-/ Self proclaimed PNW Craiglist find of the day Champion, April 2014.

optyks Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 What's the advantage to this kit over, say, JB Welding the entire perimeter of the intercooler? Not knocking or anything, just curious since JB Weld is strong stuff and will seal gaps at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators BarManBean Posted September 25, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2013 What's the advantage to this kit over, say, JB Welding the entire perimeter of the intercooler? Not knocking or anything, just curious since JB Weld is strong stuff and will seal gaps at the same time. Advantages: -This kit has been proven with fairly large / aggressive setups -Install is cleaner -Install is permanent -Sale of a bullet-proofed TMIC is easily completed, no one really wants a JB welded one. AFAIK, a TMIC is not the proper application for JB weld. It hardens so hard that it doesn't handle everyday vibrations well and it's just a matter of time before it fails. Regarding JB well sealing any gaps, I can virtually guarantee that if this fact comes into play your TMIC is not going to be repaired for any length of time by using JB weld. That said, a pack of JB weld runs about $7 so go for it "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
