Message	I installed the Z1 return line kit because I had a small but persistant leak from the DS turbo return. Never noticed this when I bolted the new flange up. Explains why the leak got immediately worse. It doesn't appear cracked all the way to the top of the threads. The flange face isn't flat on the corner, however. Still have the old lines & the new Z1 kit... maybe dremel the face flat, Hi-Temp Copper RTV it and try again? WARNING!  Forum posts are likely to contain traces of irony.

My Zs are hybrid vehicles, they run on gasoline and money I'm off to wax mine and go for a drive now. - BigTDogg (MA) 07:17:08 07/17/09 times change, people change, but the Z32 still kicks ass. - apudapus 16:46:02 06/15/07 I was more wondering how you set your climate control to 22* lol, it would be that fastest freezer on wheels! - Briscoe'sZ32 (NJ) 23:15:44 02/05/07 You have *got* to be getting a cut from B&B :D - SeedyROM 15:24:29 08/16/06 What do you think B&B stands for? - YugoBernie (NoVA) 15:57:09 08/16/06
