Topgunz - air to air upgrade

Dyno run scheduled for Aug 6th at Z1. I hope I have the leaked fixed by then. I'll be pulling the front fascia off this afternoon and going back over

Dyno run scheduled for Aug 6th at Z1. I hope I have the leaked fixed by then. I'll be pulling the front fascia off this afternoon and going back over all of the couplers. Then I will rig up a pressure test and make sure there are no leaks.

I do remember that a couple of the joints were not all that tight of a fit and I had to really crank down on the clamps. I'm wondering about building up the tube with some tape so that the coupler fits better. I'm thinking that the silicone coupler is not squeezing down smooth on the inside and that may be causing the leaks.

I'm open to suggestions!

If you've got couplers that want to pop off, hosing the pipe down with hairspray will help it stay in place.
