Default Melting piping coupler off turbo by manifold...

Another fun one... about twice a month I have to pull the piping off the turbo to replace the coulper from the first pipe off the turbo... it is wrapped in header tape, but I'm getting a little tired of doing this and wondering how you guys have yours or if you even have this problem. Thanks.

Thanks, but you're right this manifold is super HOT and melts through the 5 ply within hours... I found a company that make metal couplers and I ordered one... I'll let you know how it works.
