Same thing that was listed above from AG Diesel.  Haven’t heard much good news from people who have installed this module unfortunately.  Personally, I’m waiting for the Banks Derringer unless HP Tuners beats them at which point mine will be a legal farm truck 😎

Anyone have the AFE BladeRunner hot & cold side intercooler pipes yet? If so, what are your experiences?

 

BladeRunner Aluminum Hot and Cold Charge Pipe Kit Black | aFe POWER

That's crazy expensive for visual improvements. I made my own section that goes from the turbo to the intercooler using 2.5" pipe, felt very little difference if any in power. A little more turbo noise since it removes the stock turbo resonator. I'm glad they are finally getting more parts to market, but that's way to high of a price point in my opinion.

I agree I thought it was a bit steep for those pieces. Just curious if anyone has had them installed.

I’m on the fence.  Did a DIY resonator delete but it only lasted about 5k miles before it failed.  Going to try and make a custom V-band piece that will clamp to the turbo.  Using a silicon coupler clamped the turbo proved to not be a good solution (too much heat). 
 

I’m having a hard time with how much AFE wants for those two hoses... Not enough performance to justify the cost IMHO

    • Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"
    • Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.    
    • Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!
    • This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
