    Bleh, rage2 is always busy and Toma's closed... Those Home Depot couplers suck so bad man... Waiting for the new charge pipes to be painted and then I gotta get brackets made for the new IC and bring the BOV home... 2 weeks. Yeah, and wtf is up with that rust. The person who made it must've cheaped out on material

    Just gotta make sure you clean it really well with a strong degreaser
