We are going to machine new brackets and overnight them to you.

We will also be supplying these brackets with every kit from now on.

Anyone who has our kit that wants the these brackets, please contact us and we will send them out free of charge.

What about for those of us who don't have fbm turbo kit but purchased the radiator? Will the brakets be available for purchase and/or can they be provided? Thanks and great thinking in doing these for the extra space!

Honestly, you did a good move until Toyota and Subaru decide to make some changes and updates/upgrades. It get's pretty costly when having to put in aftermarket parts to keep the car from failing haha. But hands down, the car is fun and looks pretty nice.

But I'm sure you'll jump on one of the newer ones when they work all the bugs out.

Seems to me it would be a lot easier to undo the AC compressor than to remove the entire manifold.

I've asked my shop/tuner many, many times to install these clamps on the vacum lines. Not sure yet if they've done it yet though.

I didnt remove anything to put silicone on the nipple end. I have thick fingers and found it easy once I positioned myself on the passenger side headlight area.

you could use a stronger adhesive, but for most people, a little dabble of silicone will easily hold the pressure.

Were you able to do this without removing anything?

I'd be willing to try that if it meant not having to remove (or pay to remove) anything.

I blew that hose off and as soon as I crossed back into canadia the pcv hose popped off as well.

I think you need to get back into one. You're on here more than most

I'm having difficulty activating the auto-blip. I know the map is correct.

It's not make or break, would sure like to see its function in person though.

when I was on the dyno we popped off the same tubing under the manifold. It took us a few minutes to figure out where the leak was. It is definitely a pain that is for sure. We got a zip tie around it after getting it back on and we were able to pull the zip tie tight from the small hole that is on the side where the inlet tubes V off before attaching to the block.

Hey all, installed my stage 2 FB kit last weekend. I'm in hot Florida though and I'm having major cooling issues.

It seems like the non-brand slimline fans included with the premium install kit are a bit weak for 100+ degree temps. For what it's worth.

I will have an update for my build thread soon with details and thoughts on the kit, overall very impressed with the quality and customer service, LJ's been great.

Not surprising. Mine over-heated at stop lights with stock radiator in 80F last summer. Their radiator makes a big difference but isn't a cure-all either. If you haven't already you should read http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53580

Going to go with their Radiator and Shroud kit and SPAL fans, then remove the mishimoto oil cooler and opt for the FB one.

This should relocate the hot air from the oil cooler to the side fender area instead of flowing onto the IC and Rad.

My downpipe is heat coated AND wrapped, and the turbo is blanketed.

With the new rad and shroud I think that might do it, if not I might try a new racing thermostat.

If that doesn't work, I might try to engineer some air excavation for the bay, I already have a vented hood.

Thanks for the link though
