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 ***.

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.
