Do tell... what brand of filter? Can't believe rubber has that much destructive power! That really sucks!

it was a spectre. one of the ones that can be used on multiple sized piping. and it was the inner ring of the coupler that slipped out into the filter.

it could be worse I only paid 200 for the turbo and it was basically brand new when I got it
