Oh I'm sorry I just looked back over the photos, I was under the impression you cut the big square out with the metal bung attached and cut a square hole, then JB welded the exposed plastic.. Not tapped the hole and used a new fitting with the JB weld only securing the MAP into place and not actually keeping it sealed. If that even makes sense

an oil pan and an intercooler end tank are apples and oranges here. Oil pan sees relatively low pressure compared to boost. If you see crank case pressure equivalent to what you're boosting you have much bigger problems to worry about then if your JB weld is holding. I'm sorry what?? Dynamic pressure? Why would it being flat over a small surface make it any less prone to failure in a system that has to maintain both vacuum and positive pressure?

i've used JB weld on plastic end tanks before, don't get me wrong it will hold. But it was a temporary solution, the Oil that is thrown accumulates where ever there is any kind of crack/depression and it will wear down the plastic. Just seems like you're introducing a point of failure to the system, this is no longer fitting into a cast piece and you're pushing quite a bit of pressure at it. How did the stock solution mount in? was it threaded? I'm not being critical of your work or your solution it just surprised me this is what people opt to do when swapping intercoolers.

seems like it would be easier and more legit to make a pipe for the map sensor and cut the silicone vs modifying a plastic end tank??

just wanted to take a moment to say how awesome you guys are for a vendor, you're extremely competitive with anyone and always have top notch customer service, pretty much always getting my parts out to me same day as i order them.. i've bought my worth of multiple cars through you and will continue to use you.

these were shipped via greg@QBM, greg was on business for a week and shipped them the week he returned.. and refunded FIT his shipping costs because of the delay.
All of this time i did my best to stay in constant contact with FIT to assure i wasnt out to screw him over. Sorry buddy

i thought i remember hearing no ads when you're a supporting member ? why do i see ads ? <_<
-
in all honesty, the information on this site alone is a gold mine, i dont see why you should have to offer up incentives to make the members happy. how many people come here, then leave because they dont like what they see ? and really should their be any type of monetary incentive to have those kind of people stay ? i dont really see this idea as bringing in new members that wouldnt come to begin with, but then again; money is money and im not complaining if you're gonna give it away. instead of awarding money, why not make a post ranking system.. as a member contributes beneficial knowledge to the site a mod rates every post that said member records. eventually this will determine a user value rating that would show how much credibility this member may or may not have, that way others will be aware if the information has meaningful relevance or is just pure BS.

with your listed mods a 5.7 would give you a run for your money in the R and well.. the 6.0 would leave you pretty easily
-
i suggest you just leave it be, this forum is one of the easiest to read out of all of the ones i frequent.. if you want to revamp do a more conservative approach like turbobricks.com forums.
