Added the Phunk multi-fitting with fuel pressure for the GReddy multi-gauge.

I might need to get that Greddy multi gauge.

I really like it. I have everything running except EGT. Not sure where I would tap for that and I'm not pulling the crossover pipe anytime soon.

Now if I could just fix this damn oil leak from the thermostat adapter I'd be in business.

Which fitting is leaking again? On mine, 3 of 4 fittings fit tight to the block, I wonder if you have the same fit? I'm still waiting on my charge pipes to come back from the powdercoater so I haven't been able to fire up the car yet to check for leaks.

Knowing where I mounted mine, looking from the top. The two oil cooler lines are towards the radiator and the two to the engine are on the left. Best I can tell its the left one of the oil cooler lines. It appears to be getting worse.

I'll double check mine this weekend to see which fitting sticks out slightly.

Cool. On top of that I found a bigger leak tonight at the oil cooler. I can't win with these ******* AN fittings.

Am I the only one that seems to have shitty luck with them?

I found the angle the fittings are at are important,too much on any direction causes a leak...I learned that after gt getting 2 different lines to leak when one replaced the leaking one, was a head scratcher at first. I adjusted the angles and boom gone.

Angle meaning which direction they are rotated?

mine leaks at the oil cooler, I hate those damn fittings. It's not bad, but it's still annoying as hell!

Werd! This new leak is at the oil cooler too. No issues for 1k miles and then all of the sudden oil puddle on the floor. To go from not dripping to full on leak baffles the **** out of me.

puddles are no bueno!

The last week of the shipping window for my new F.I. exhaust is Friday so I would be getting a notification any day now. Too bad my tuner sold his dyno and I'm stuck waiting for him to replace prior to installing it.

I to had oil leak issues. I had a small leak at the cooler all last summer and since it was so minimal and next to no drips I let it go. It wasnt until I pulled the bumper off in the fall that I realized how packed with crap the cooler became as the oil would trap the dust and crap in the cooler. I should have grabbed pictures. It took about 2 cans of brake clean and me going out and buying a bigger air compressor to clean it. haha

That's where my major leak is on the right connection (return in my setup) of the oil cooler. Oil gets all over the place as it runs down the hose and just down the cooler in general. I had to completely rebuild the hose with new fittings. I've only driven it about 100 miles since the repair so I can't say if it's still leaking. I can say that it is no longer leaving puddles on my garage floor. I'll be really happy to get the V1.5 IC setup so I can eliminate two oil lines. At that point I will build two new oil line hoses to fit perfectly for my setup. I hope at that point leaks will be a thing of the past.
