I took the intake apart today and discovered the intake is leaning, scraping and slowly eating(with engine vibrations) it's way through some piping.

Did around 3000 miles with intake, not sure if forgot to insall one of the odd bits that came with the kit, or if it's a known issue or just me... but it was pretty freaky as I'm sure it would have eaten to the core of those pipes in time(maybe15-20K).

took some pictures(sorry for quality).

That may looks like an A/C Line, wrap some pipe insulation on it. I have a friend that just installed JWT Popcharger, and it was rubbing against the a/c line, so it caused a leak.. they had to replace his whole a/c line, cost $300~

 

yep - I had my intake put a slight groove in one of my A/C lines recently, causing the refridgerant to leak out. we had installed the rubber "hose" that comes with the kit, though it slipped downware so the intake was left to rub through the hose. I never noticed any noise or anything, just one day the A/C no longer worked !

We got the replacement line from the dealer ~$50.00, took about 1.2 hours to put it in, and bent the line more towards the firewall to help keep it away from the intake. We also put some heater hose around is, and secured that with a few zip ties to ensure it would not go anywhere.
