Future plans are to add a winch bumper to the front & it'll have a grille guard too. But that won't happen for a while.

Did a little work on it today. The trim piece around the entry door had come loose on the drive home so I'd fixed that.

Then I swapped out the band clamp on the hot charge pipe that had blown off on the trip home. I'd hung onto my old ones so it was a easy swap. Stuck a few extras in with my tools for a "just In Case" if another one blows off.

We'll see how it does on my upcoming trip here in a few.

I've never had an issue with Sinister ones on mine??

This band is the only one that seems to have an issue so I'm hoping that now I won't have anymore issues.

If it blows again, or others blow, check that the pipe has a good flare/bead/ridge (whatever it's called) and that it's not too slick from paint/powder coating. I've seen pipes with shallow flares/beads have blow-off issues simply because the hose has nothing solid to grab onto, but you might already know that.

I looked for pics of what I'm talking about. This one looks shallow to me.

This one looks better.

I wiped the inside of the hose out and cleaned the pipe before putting it back together. The pipes all have flanges on them but I can't say that they are as nice as the second picture. I'll try to remember to get a picture next time it's apart.

I installed a catch can to keep the oil out of the turbo and intake

That is one of my next mods to get done.

Edit: The new engine & turbos don't seem to have as much blowby as the old engine & turbos either. Did you buy a kit? And if you did from whom?
