    Ive replaced mine with fuel line to stop it happening again and they allow you to tighten the crap out of them

    Thank you man ill check that out asap, also realized my new boost gauge is out of calibration and sits in about 1.5hg when the car is off. Tried fixing it by carefully knocking the brass circle inside, the pin would bounce up but didnt wanna stay on Zero.

    Finally ordered the CPU heatsink too, Seeing Rizzla's thread reminded me of it

    No worries, watch the dipstick tube when checking or tightening the center pipe under the manifold, I slipped and broke mine lol lucky I had a spare.

    Is your boost gauge 'new south' ? I haven't had the best experience with them. My boost gauge reads about 2psi under and my oil pressure gauge just does what ever it feels like. Wish I could find some better quality gauges that match the dash lights

    Yeah, i had a Defi in there which i loved, but same deal here, got the Newsouth purely for the colour match.
    I asked newsouth if there is anything i can do to fix it myself or to get a replacement and both options will leave me out of pocket and without a gauge for who knows how long.

    Rsb has been one of my favourite mods, I think you will enjoy it. I decided to see how the plastidip metalisers look. Not too bad me thinks
