Maybe the meth ate into it, I never seen one do that. Could have just been a bad one I guess..

It looks like your silicone 90 is sitting on top of the radiator support. Mine did this as well (not EPP, custom setup), so I just used a razor blade to cut about 1" off the part that goes over the TB, and that gave it enough room to sit comfortably behind the radiator.

Just a thought. Otherwise, very very sweet setup. I wish the EPP kit didn't require ditching the fogs on T/As. If I had a Camaro, I definitely would have gone with their kit... no question.

I cannot cut silicone 90 any more....it is tapered and if I cut it anymore, there is no way I can get it on my 90mm tb

Makes sense. I'm not sure if mine was tapered or not. It was too big to start with. The clamp is almost bottomed out just to make it tight. The TB is clearly not 4", but that's the size of the elbow and clamp I have. *shrug*

Very nice install indeed...

But I doubt the meth is what ruined the intake manifold KP... pretty diluted and weak chemical compared to oil and fuel. I do wonder what caused that though... Looks like she got a bit hot!

I dunno, I remember putting some methanol in a plastic container I used for oil and it ate through it in a couple days, depends on the plastic I guess. But something happened to it, never seen anything like it.

MAN!!! That looks great! I'll be purchasing my turbo kit from Josh at Kentucky Turbo next week. It should be almost as pretty as yours. Looking forward to seeing how it will look with your grille on the front.
