Default 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 **** 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.
