The two small screws are what you need to install the map sensor. You should be able to thread them in by hand but if you're having any trouble you can use a small pick to remove the excess coating on the MAP sensor.

We've actually changed the new chargepipe's finish so the bungs/flanges are no longer coated to prevent this problem.

I did however have to really stretch the coupler from cp to IC pipe, but Tiago gladly sent me a longer hose that completely fixed the problem FREE OF CHARGE...instead of putting it on me to buy a new coupler, he provided me with one that arrived in 2 days. Did I need a longer one to drive my car? No, but I was experiencing a boost leak because the coupler originally provided pulled on the ic pipe and the newer longer coupler resolved the issue. A+ to Tiago...excellent shipping, quality, and customer service. After all, this is just a pipe, it holds boost, praise Tiago for not robbing you for just a dang pipe...I will continue to go to VRSF for the rest of my mods, he's a great guy to deal with.
That is awesome that he sent you a coupler to fix that issue. I'm glad to read this.

Yes there should be a tiny screw in it. Are you sure there is not one in it? It might be sitting flush with or slightly below the surrounding area.

wonder if the new batches took some of these complaints into consideration. I was about to order a VRSF chargepipe till I saw these reviews.

It's a 1/8 NPT Thread bung. It's a standard plumbing fitting. You can grab a bolt at any hardware store if it's missing. Or I'm sure VRSF can send you one if it wasn't included.

VRSF is very good at listening to the customer base and feedback and improving the product from what we've seen over the years.

The latest revision of the chargepipe resolves all the initial complaints. The throttle body flange has been modified to a tighter fit, we no longer require a larger o-ring, the mounted surfaces are no longer coated and the silicone coupler has been extended.

I've had 2; one with the TiAL BOV and this one is SSQV. The SSQV was a bear to install but both the kits were solid. The latter one definitely fits tighter against the throttlebody. Both have held up very well. No complaints from me!

I can vouch for the VRSF CP, it is our most popular charge pipe.

I find people complaining about instructions is hilarious. Plenty of car parts have no instructions. If you dont like it take it to a shop. Pro tip, Google the install before buying stuff!

Also question! I re-read the install guide. Not sure if i missed it or my guide was meh, but it didnt seem to mention what to do with the zip-ties. What am i supposed to zip with these lil guys?
