Can that just happen or is it because the bolts wern't tightened when installed?


I had one bolt that was out for a short time on the bottom til I got home to install it was I picked it up after the twin install. But they were tight the bellow has a fine crack running inside were it started to split aparts it also was leaking up were we caped of the riser for the erg cooler. I got 10psi of boost back and need to wash the firewall and valve cover and all down now.

Thanks I was just wondering. I seem ot have a problem keeping my up pipes from leaking. I also had a below leaking but a little weld fixed it up. More boost equals more problems. I can't wait.
