seal the upper and lower mating surfaces, (ring area with bevelled edge). Use permatex Ultra Copper as it is O2 safe and withstands high heat.

You're car won't idle if you don't seal the tubes.

I've been running mine for a month without the sealed tubes....not a problem. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":\">

Re: Intercooler out....where do I seal?
thats interesting, if you develope a leak you won't be able to hold a vaccum and youre car wont idle, are your tubes completely clean or is there some residue that might form a seal? How about boost do you loose any at extended high revs? sometimes you'll leak when in higher boost.

Funny enough....the tubes were cleaned before they were put back on.
Boost is the same...14-15psi ever since I did the new intake.

This may proove Wayne's practice of putting 2 completely clean and mating surfaces together in the precise configuration creating a good enough seal to maintain vac and hold boost.
(run-on sentance)
