Default My Pop Charger Keeps on popping out fukkkkkkkkk...
The past couple of days my car kinda sounded different, and tonight
I began to notice my idle fluctuating...popped the hood and guess what,
my Pop Charger was popped out, resting by the heat shield AGAIN
God knows what my engine had suck up during that time...
This is the third time in 4 months! In 2 years of owning Pop Charger, this never happened before.
I always tighten it has hard as it can, and it STILL pops out fukkkkkkkkk
I think it pops out when I downshift from 3rd to 2nd in high rpm..
Anybody got ARC or Gruppe M intake they wanna sell?

you should clean the part where the popcharger makes contact with the intake tube, using alcohol or something, to remove all dirt and oil

then, you might want to carefully and lightly lubricate where the worm screw clams down on the outer part.

Stillen intake FTW!

haha, it's pretty much the same thing but instead of a heat shield, you have a box around it.

CAI tubes are alloy and they heat up like a bit@h. I have a NIsmo one lying around and swapped it for a stillen one with a stock ztube and I like this better.
