Post Install Maintenance
 
My Cartech IHI setup has been on the vehicle for about 1000 miles, so I decided to get it back up on stands and crawl underneath and see what I could see, lucky I did. One of the exhaust bolts was backing out, but more importantly a AC compressor pump bolt was starting to cut through the oil return line, that would have been a big problem. I re-positioned the line and zip ties a piece of radiator hose over the area in case it moves again. So the moral of the story is: if you have just installed a setup, take on hour to check everything is good,

You should check your car every couple hundred miles at the minimum.

Just wait for check engine lights to check shit like that...especially if you're on stand-alone.

Clicked this thread because I saw hustler posting in a thread about something involving having already installed a turbo kit.
