i just installed my volant air intake last weekend and left on vacation right after i installed it. We drove probably 250 miles to the beach and i checked it and made sure everything was still right when we got there. Well we got home yesterday and i went to show it to a buddy today and i popped the hood and the intake hose was dangling down, it appeared to have been down a little while because part of the plastic hose was melted. Is there anything i can do now to help the situation? It could have been off a max of 250 miles or 6 hrs. of running time. Thanks guys!

So you ran up to 6 hours without an air filter?

I'd get an oil analysis pronto.
High silicon will indicate dirt in the cylinders.

Don't think there's much else you can do but rub a leprechaun.

where would i go to get that done?
up to 6 hrs. with no filter......yeah i'm sick on my stomach cause i just made the last payment on it last week!!
its a crappy design the way it hooks up to the turbo!!!!! cause everything was tight when i checked it and still tight after the first 6 hrs.!!! my luck i guess!

they will send you a free kit to send the oil sample in

 

thanks Dufrain!
i ordered the kit.
will it help any to take a sample then change the oil or is it to late to do any good? or just wait on the analysis to get back before i run it? this really sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thanks again!
