Mark's 1G Winter Projects

How much are those? I bent my AMS IC pipes a bunch as they were aluminum with my tbolts.

I didn't have as many issues, none really, with SS piping. But maybe these are on option.

Makes me want stainless piping again. Electric impact on IC pipes FTW!

I've always preferred aluminum to save the weight plus dissipate a little extra heat. Use a 1/4" driver and don't go gorilla-mode.

That doesn't always work when you're running Leasure boost though haha

I never lost a coupler with the big setup the evo had.

I'm kind of surprised Mark didn't do this earlier since it seems everything he does is an engineering masterpiece it seems.

Although I don't run the same boost levels as these guys, I've never popped one either.

[Murlo26]

I popped my UICP a few times before I had tbolts, running ~38psi.

But once I had the tbolts it stayed together. I think what Mark is saying is that the tbolts worked fine they are just easy to dent the piping with...which is what I did too. It's easy to over tighten.

I've had the stock woven piping blow off before, but never a silicone coupler.

Probably time for a set of these, or Wiggins clamps to handle Leasure boost without torquing the t-bolts to 100 ft/lbs. :D

Or just use SS pipes?
