I agree.


I'd love to have that Banks intake, but I be worried that a machine shop could do it right.

So do you think the failure was over Torque on the stud or over Boost?

I think over torqued the stud , cracking it and when the boost came up it pulled it away from the stud and into the motor

Bad luck!

Sounds like excessive mounting torque, unless you remember how tight you made them - in which case it's likely a casting flaw exacerbated by multiple installation cycles.

Also, any strain on the cfm+ flange (i.e. from CAC boot misalignment)?
