I was going to start the car today but I ran to a little problem! One of the AN fitting on the secondary fuel rail won't stop leaking! Pissed me off. Tried everything I could think off, new fitting, teflon tape, no teflon tape, new hose. I checked the male end on the rail and it doesn't look nicked or damaged. Im going to order new fittings and some kind of thread sealant.

Also made a hasty bracket for the breather tank and the AST. Right now im waiting on a 6AN bung for the oil filler neck, so I can drop off the elbow, charge pipe and filler neck at the welder.

edit: After some research online found out that Summit 90 Degree fittings are prone to leak, supposedly the fix to this is buying Aeroquip fittings, so i order them and some conical seals.

Yeah you told me Summit fittings were good, that's why I bought them LOL.

Well I don't think mine are leaking, but they're just used for the boost and vent lines on the wastegates, boost control valve solenoid, etc, so I won't really know until I boost. Should be fine though...I hope lol.

Either way, it's awesome you're getting finished too. We're gonna have a good size crew this summer!
