Default AAM came through

There was a thread about 4 or 5 months ago where AAM was getting ragged on . Mike from Altered came in the thread and wanted to make things right with every one he could .
Well after a long wait my fuel return lines have been replaced with the new lines and fittings from thier new return fuel system . I will say I had my doubts I was ever going to get it .

Mike made several promises that day to several people . Did you guys get what was promised to you ?

I did a search to see if I could find the thread for some references , but came up MT handed .

Thumbs up

Thats Great!!

Im glad he stood behind his word.

I have been there a few times and never have had any issues. Here is the list of what I had done.

1. Reflash with dyno tune... No issues
2. And back down two different times for dynos.

Not much, but both times were positive experiences.

Later

Booger - Thanks for your patience and glad to see you finally have the lines replaced! It was a long wait for the new kits but we'll worth it IMO.

Let us know if there is anything else we can help out with!

This is good news to hear. I was actually thinking about my lines today as I drove by the road AAM is on...booger, I assume you had the awful gas smell? Any other issues? I swear you could light a match in the garage and it would catch on fire with mine...

No other issue's other than the gas leeching out . The garage smelt like it could go up in flames by lighting a match . Girl friend didnt want the car parked in the garage...lol no chance at that !

The new lines and fittings look great . The shop is almost done with the tuning of the Haltech ems , so Im going to wait about a month to do the fuel lines . Im going to do the dash Injected Performance has http://www.injectedperformance.com/e...D=10375&VID=20 at the same time . Just want to see how the Vortech is going to run at 20psi first .

how are you going to get enough revs to spin 20psi? the T trim is only rated to 55k right?

The E trim is 65k, so I could see that running 20 psi.

Cog pulley's that dont slip . 20psi is low I could be up to 26psi at redline if I wanted to . T-trim with heavy duty bearings and seals with gears made for race blowers

LOL... Same experience here. My passengers are always paranoid about the smell.

The old fuel lines leaked, that is a given, unfortunately that was not revealed until a # of us had it and discussed that among ourselves.
I don't know of anyone that got the return system previously that did NOT have that fuel smell. I have gotten used to it for the most part, (I got the lines that were leaking fixed a while ago) but I do not let anyone smoke near my car or in the garage unless it has been aired out.. :-/

My understanding was it was the lines. I also know I had a leak in the tank and I had to pull the tank and replace the seals and a few other things (to include the tank because there were a few extra holes in it apparently, but that is another matter all together)

I am glad new lines are being used, and I hope that fixes the problem for everybody. Booger let us know your results when you pull the old lines/fittings and put on the new ones. When I replaced some of my lines, I noticed a lot of the fittings need replacing also, so I had to replace those too. Needless to say I have since spent the cost of the return system again fixing/replacing things.
