what was the fix...because I had the same problem... It was a real P.I.T.A !!! It was too late in the evening to call Justin.
Okay, the abridged version.....
My install story...
1. should have waited more than 1 hour to try install on hot motor.
2. The little black zip tie used to close off breather under intake manifold is gone. Used a hose clamp instead. ( Dont try to install that with the engine still warm. Burned off all hair on my right forearm.)
3. Existing stuff came out with a prob.
4. I installed the boot onto the throttle body about 6 times before I got the right 30 degree angle to get the tube level and straight. The key was to install the boot by itself and snug it up enough so that you could still rotate it, but not slip off. That was the PITA part about the install. Justin pre-installs the tube into the boot but there is so little clearance to move around things so I took it off the boot. That was mistake #1.
5. Rest of install went pretty well. No scuffs, no scratched knuckles, no blood. (guess is was not a complete job then).
Instructions are very good. 06's have to drill the box to the fender and use a self tapping screw. Without the boot issue I could have been done in less than an hour. Overall it took me 2 hrs with taking off the boot a half dozen times.
The geomtery of the tube and boot must be right on since there is little clearance. The turn is so tight that more than a 1/4 off on the rotation of the boot and things dont line up right.
Beautiful product and look forward to buying more from Justin when I get the chance. :rock:
