BTG INTAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM
I opened the hood over the weekend to check and see if the clamp on the bottom elbow of my BTG CAI had come loose again and guess what? .... The whole elbow had ripped off at the turbo! Nothing left but the clamp and a ring of rubber! The bulk of the intake and filter were sitting loose in the engine bay being held in place by the breather tube and vacume line! NO WONDER IT SEEMED NOISY!
Called BTG and they said I was not the first and they had a support bracket in the works that would be ready soon. They sent me a new rubber boot and vacume line grommet, (it was cut in half by the movement of the loose intake.)
IF YOU HAVE THIS SYSTEM... GO OUT AND CHECK IT NOW! I would include pictures but I can't figure how to make it work!
I had about 4000 miles on it before it failed.
