(If guys don't like you asking questions, maybe they aren't the right guys). Wish I had a girlfriend who love to modify cars... I guess I'll just have to influence my daughter when she's of age to have the same love I have (of modifying cars)...

I think the big one for me is the flame hammer. I typically paste a few links of what searches returned, if anything, into notepad if the search didn't answer my question. That way if I get this -> I can post my links. |

I find that you need to ensure the connections between the connector and outlets are nice and dry, and then connect them with a t-bolt clamp instead of standard worm drive clamp.

I'm the same way. But ER makes a Hard Anodized Black finish that is supposed to make it look more stock. So for routine maintenance they shouldn't ever take the charge pipe off, and thus never have the issue of noticing it is after market. On the off chance something DOES go wrong with the internals of the car, just swap out the ER with the stock one before taking it in. Also, you mind be able to find a good SA in your area, or close, that will be fair to you and not care that you have an after market part on the car unless he can clearly see it caused the issue.

do you have to take the intake off to install? it looks like the upper connection is blocked by it.

That's correct. You could try and work around it I guess, but it would be much easier to remove it first.

When I pop my hood I can see the charge pipe, and then I see this big plastic (?) casing/rectangle pipe that runs over the top to my air filter. Is that the intake you're talking about, or are you referring to the intake manifold? Or are they the same? Haha, now I'm confused. I thought this was like a ~30 minute job. I know when my friends have taken their intake manifolds of their mazdas it is an all day event.

The big plastic intake box thingy to the right of the engine is generally removed for this installation so you can have better access to the Charge Pipe. Removing it requires removing the top part of the intake. It does not involve taking off the entire intake from the turbo, only the right side is taken off.
It's a straightforward install and took me less than an hour. |

What map are most people running that ends up with a broken CP? And what are the symptoms that it's cracked?
