I purchased the Turbosmart 2.75" 45-degree hose, however it was an extremely tight fit. When I measured the outer diameter of my throttle body it was 3" however ,the outer diameter of the CAI was 2.75" so I have the Turbosmart 3" hose on order and I know it will fit much nicer this time when I get it as I did not like the stretch of the hose on the throttle body when I tried fitting the 2.75" hose.

Thank you very much for the response. I will purchase one and once installed, I will update this thread.

Is the turbosmart 45-degree silicone hose that dyslexik mentioned in is post similar to the one in this link http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_SPM6738129502P?sid=IDx20101019x00001a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=SPM6738129502 If so, I will go ahead and purchase it!

Given the uniqueness of the angle on the hose, I am not able to find on the Internet any straight couplings that will be a direct fit. Additionally, I called TRD USA and they do not sell the coupling separately :(

Can anyone advise me as to where I can purchase a rubber coupling for my TRD cold air intake as shown in the attached pictures. I have noticed some small surface cracks on it and I would like to replace it before they get any worse. All help will be greatly appreciated.

You can also try cleaning the idle speed control valve

When last were the tie rods and tie rod ends checked/replaced?

If you're looking for mounts that are guaranteed of lasting a lont time, I'd recommend the C-ONE engine mounts as they are solid rubber-filled mounts. They do increase the NVH slightly but they are worth the money spent, in my opinion.

Recommended cold tyre pressure is 30 psi all around and 60 psi for the temporary (spare) tyre. I normally put in 31 psi all around on mine.

I paid US$65.00 for them.

I installed my C-ONE® shift lever mount bushes today and I just decided to create this thread to show the differences between the OEM bushing and the C-ONE® part. Additionally, please note that the larger diameter on the bush goes between the base of the shift lever assemby and where it bolts down to on the chassis.

I would strongly suggest that you measure your fuel pressure on start-up. It should be 45 psi at idle, any lower and you will have starting issues. I had this problem a while back after I changed my fuel filter; the car worked fine for the first two days and then it started to become progressively harder and harder to start. I measured my fuel pressure and it was 15 psi at idle. I disassembled my fuel filter and found a squeezed o-ring and made sure that I re-seated it properly and put everything back together, fired it up and the reading was 45 psi and my starting issues were gone. Hope this helps!

Shifting in lift is not a problem although that is due to my extended clutch pushrod. For sure though, the "lurching forward" after a quick blip of the throttle is no longer being experienced.

Maybe add the engine damper as well that could ease the vabration problem If there is such a thing for our cars I wanna see how well they work before putting the mount inserts back in the car. I'm already missing the performance :(
