What's going on with that throttle body bracket? And do you have any issue with the long intercooler tube blowing loose under boost? When I switched over to that type of pipe, I just couldn't keep it from blowing apart eventually, so ended up adding these boost braces. I bought these, but they'd be easy enough to make...

I have also had issues through the years with IC pipes popping off so made brackets to keep them in place. I only had the issues on track or at autocrosses when the engine moves around alot and throttle is alot on and off compared to Street use.
Like Thom suggested really clean surfaces is important.
Jay I like your "kevlar look"!I just added satin clearcoat and black porsche lettering on my 968 Turbo S/RS replica strutbrace.

Missed this thread. I have 2 89 cars. One red, one black. The red one I've owned since 2010 and unfortunately took a back seat to my S4 twin turbo swap project and is sitting with the engine out currently. The black one I just bought in 2020 and have less than 200 miles on it and it blew the head gasket. Fun stuff.

They both look great. The black one is particularly sinister looking.
