I just installed my FMIC on the weekend

The day after the install had had two joiners blow off when under a full load, So that night i reconnected all the pipping tightend all of the clamps really tight then last night the rubber(stock)90 degree bend which runs from the passenger side of the cooler tore straight down the seam when running around about a constant 10 psi for a couple of seconds.

Has anyone had a similar problem when connecting a after market cooler to the stock hoses.

Where abouts can i get a Silicone 3'' silicone bend from and will it be any better than the stock nissan rubber bend?

      I see those two Stageas have the "punched 40mm hole" deregistered Japanese number plates 👍 Nice kouki group shot with the different colours too.

      Yeah I made that post way too early, sorry I must have assumed it was bad because it's a 20+ year old thrashed shitbox lol. It was just a loose exhaust bolt.

      Like others have said, drop the power to give your drivetrain a % of reliability until you can up the drivetrain reliability  It isn't rocket science, build power to the weakest link with a % of safety Whilst upping the the reliability of the drive train is costly, there's no point in having the engine make big power if it keeps eating the drivetrain....ask me how I know, I had the tow truck on speed dial for a few years, and I spent huge amounts of money fixing issues and breakages that really would have been cheaper in the long run if I did it right the first time Me, I like a nice sized fudge factor, that keeps me off the tow truck

      I don't understand what the issue is with, turn the boost down and start saving $$.  As soon as you can afford the supporting mods, turn the boost back up.  If the car is running fine, enjoy it. Turning the boost down isn't going to kill you.
