My background. 15-18 BOCES for auto tech, electric, auto hbac, and inspector class...I then worked in 3 shops over 12 years from High Performance to Stereistereo Installation and everything in bewteen.

I don't say this to brag just to make a point, I am an experienced trained tech, even this is the first mod in the M2 I'm having serious trouble.

As you know the VRSF CP comes with an upper sect. ( C Clip to throttle body 3") and Lower 2.5" Sect, that clip to the VRSF FMIC, They meet under the A/C Compressor and attach w a 3" long 3" to 2." reducer....

Well that gap depending on where the engine stops do to its torque is almost 3" and no matter how tight I make the clamps the engine movement rips that connection open...

Has anyone else had this issue??? I ordered a 4" reducer that'll be here today. other wise im clueless other than returning to OEM? Help
g stock pipe.

AM I the only one w this issue?

Why not call VRSF?

I had the same problem w/ ER charge pipe. had to torque down the clamps a bit more than just "hand-tight". also the rotation of the charge pipe may be off a bit. it needs to be very close to exact so the pipes line up such that the clamps are effective.

Youre right but still to short, i would leave off the bottom clip turn the pipe counter clockwise, to get it in the tun it clockwise and uo to to in further,,,zi just cant get more than 1/4 inch to stay in

sounds like it might be an issue with vrsf production then? sometimes bad batches go out. I've had to wait on a bunch of parts because of bad production batches

i ordered a 4" long HPS coupler from amazn, it came overnight, problem solved :}

thank u though, good suggesstions

I recommended contacting VRSF ... We sell a lot of VRSF charge pipes, no complaints

[DKX4///M]

as I said, taken care of...Holding up very well...I was not leaving enough space in the coupler between the top and bottom...the engine movement was ripping the clamp off on hard shifts.

It's been fixed and holding 20psi for almost 2 weeks...one thing I could say is include a 4" long 3" to 2.5 silicone reducer" instead of 3" long. The cp still has plenty of allowable engine move my but bc's sooo much more reliable and easier to install.
