You should have routed it like it was supposed to, wrap it, etc. Not everybody with a TN kit has this issue. Shows to prove the installer didn't take necessary action to correct it.
TN supplies a great product, no hassle warranty, installer ****s up, and customer blames it on TN. Ah well...You can't make everybody happy.

You have no clue what you are talking about, how many kits singles or twins have you installed? If you prefer a TN over a Greddy for any reason other than price you are a .....@#$@%@^@ don't want to get banned
Actually the kit brings more business with engine rebuilds

Its an awesome show car kit, but thats all you get when buying the TN kit.

It's very typical to take a wrong turn an install and blame t-netics. Like i said you can't make everybody happy. I guess it's going to take a new line and a better wrapping job. It's the whole truth.
Cry me one.

and I do agree that people who make errors in the installs love to blame the manufacturers.

The shop has seen 7 TN kits, three were installed there and 2 of those blew due to overboost due to early kits, of the other 4 they were self installs or by another shop and of those 4 blew. It is a piece of **** kit.
So take your bandwagon and take it to someone that might actually believe your line of crap on this kit.

My line burned through, and it was bent per TN instructions. Shops Ive spoken too all have had issues with the A/C lines, many use extra heat wrap and it still happens. Consider yourself lucky if you dont have a leak. The heat wrapped line from TN is not the greatest....

I'll be honest. . .this isn't the first time I've heard of this problem. Why is it so common ?? . . In my opinion something like this should be fool proof, period. Installer's shouldn't have to go through this kinda hassle to make sure something as important as the A/C line remains ok. I was really interested in going the single turbo route and really wanted the TN kit. . .but I'm honestly startin to feel as though I'm straying away and towards the Greddy.

Let MIA talk all the smack he wants; it doesn't change the quality or components of the kit. Anyone can search out the forums and see that the A/C line issue is not isolated to just a few. If he has 60K miles on his kit, good for him, but doesn't change a thing for the OP with a burnt up A/C line

Funny that XAT has installed more kits then that with far far fewer issues. Seems to me like the problem is the isntaller. Why are you asking me what other issues he had. He was YOUR customer.
You can embellish all you want to try and detract from the facts but the shop also sees and fixes other people's work I am sure someone has had to fix work done by XAT no one is perfect and I will be the first to admit it, but the fact is that the only issues we have had are on TN kits, that includes installations and tunes.
Has Reggie allowed you talk like this, I know he probably gives a blank pass to wipe yourself but slandering people come on!!!!

I know both you guys, Mia and westpak. Mia I dont blame you for backing up the kit. Yes your right, you havent had any problems but a good majority of people have and you cant deny that. Westpak, most know my opinion of japtrix and I agree with you that the kit isnt the best. Now I dont blame you for backing up your shop but my car is never goin back there. You guys really just arent as good as people put you out there to be, im taking my car to performance factory in orlando b/c their is just NOO good shops around miami. Just my opinion though, hope you guys resolve your problem. Oh and just for fun, Not having a/c lol sux.

Now, I'm in no way saying the kit is "better" than the greddy kit. But, I still remember the days when the greddy kit was blowing motors every other day. We've come a long way, too far to continue bickering about which kit is "best". Each one serves its own purpose and I believe they all achieve their intended purpose well.
As far as the AC issue... I've had my own issues with it and I must say it's all in the install. I would suggest being overkill with the heat shielding and routing, moreso than is included with the kit. Check out some of the "extreme" heat shielding that DEI offers and I think you'll have better luck with the AC line.
