TN Compressor Discharge leak...Help Pls!!!
I've had my TN kit in my daily driver for close to about 9-10 months now with no problems until now. I'm sure its minor - but I need advice on how to fix it if anyone else has come accross it. Normally my vac shows ~20-~22 but I noticed yesterday that it was showing 18-19. When I got home from work I checked all the connections and noticed that the rubber coupling from the turbo compressor discharge outlet to the pipe leading to the intercooler was rubbing on the frame that runs allong the outside of the car parrallell to the driver side headlight. It looks like that support has started to rub through. Has anyone else had that problem? I know I'm going to need to order anther coupler, but has anyone had to trim that support...or at least had any luck trying to bend it away from the compressor?
Thanks

it's not really any sort of structural support. I took a dremel and cut mine pretty much out. I've got to go back and finely cut it, but yeah, I did it, and my coupler finally stopped popping off the compressor outlet, haha.

For whatever it's worth, I thought I was gonna have to cut that brace as well. Turns out (forgive me if this is old news!) Loosen those nuts where the polished compressor meets a gold ring and turn the turbo out of harms way.
