i can feel the love.

yeah i know the couplers are cheapos. i couldnt find any quickly i needa order some.
He's just an idiot, the couplers are fine. They don't need to look pretty to work well. I've used them for 2 years now and they have held out fine.

I have those same HD couplers. The one on my compressor melted and blew up like a balloon. I had to replace it with silicone. All the rest of the HD couplers are fine. Thanks for calling me an idiot, though. :'( :-*

I like the big dollla setup and homedepot couplers :P The compressor outlet one will melt and balloon up or pop. You should get a silicone one there, the others will be fine.
This makes me glad I have to bolt that pipe to the turbo. It sucks I'm gonna be upgrading soon :-\ :)

Setup looks sweet as hell. did you have any problems fitting that spearco behind your bumper? This damn 91 si bumper is kicking my ass.

Nah, I've never used a turbo timer in my life, the only time I ever let it cool is maybe after a ---- ton of rippers or after a long trip.
