Thanks Tim. I was planning to do one more torque after a week or so, just didn't know whether to do it hot or cold. I wondering about the valves and if they would change. It's a shame, I just adjusted them a month or so ago.

Anyone got any suggestions on good quality intercooler boots that will hold much better than stock? Don't want to spend an arm and a leg. BD wanted $250 for theirs. I think I saw a banner ad here on DTR for some other, but I want to make sure they are good quality.....you know.....sometimes you get what you pay for, but still, if there is a less expensive alternative or a better alternative, I'm all ears.

Thanks, Matt

I saw were Geno's had a set for $199...

Thanks Mike, and that's a BD boot kit too. Pier's kit is $210. I guess since everything else is BD, I may go that way for $199. I hate to spend it, but I've got a boot blown right now. Anybody have any opinions on either the BD or the Piers kit?

Hey, thanks Tim. I saw those and the boots look great. I wasn't sure how heavy duty the clamps were though, they look similar to stock. It is also advertised at $249. Thats the only real reason I wasn't considering those. I'll give Rip a call.
