Unhappy top mount.. Help!

Does anyone happen to have a STI top mount intercooler they'd be willing to sell? Some how, and this really blows my mind... i stripped one of the screw holes where my bov sits. sux bad, especially since i always worry about doing something like that.

Well

why don't you just tap it out to a sightly bigger size instead of buying another intercooler. Call Ryan at Vakamon. I really don't think the sky is falling.

Hey,

it turtle-speed gives you his, that's great. But seriously, it's a big waste when you could just tap it out slightly.

Talking Yeah

his is completely useless. Once you strip a bolt hole the core temperatures raise exponentially. He should give it to you.

same thing happened to my turboxs tmic, i just tapped it out. only bad thing was that the hole was soo jacked, i had to go to a slightly larger bolt. so that means that i had to drill bigger holes for my bov. works like a champ. you may not have to go that far, but i did.
