So I have 2 dumb questions...
1.) People with boost gauge, have you guys ever have the hose coming off the in-line filter when you hit peak boost? Mine has been doing that lately, it used to be fine... I have a Podi gauge
2.) anyone knows how hard is it to replace the 12V power outlet? I think there’s a shirt in mine because everytime I try to plug my phone charger in it blew the fuse

i do not have such a gauge but have heard of this happening. might be clogged filter?
the outlet itself or the wiring to it? i imagine the outlet itself is easier than the wiring. try a different charging cable too?

That’s what I thought at first too, so I replaced it with a new filter and it’s still doing that, maybe the hose are getting bad, I’ll try to cut 2” of that end and see if it work...
And I’m pretty sure it’s the outlet itself that is shorting out, I’ve tried different charger and they all blew the fuse

I had to double zip tie mine. The increase in boost levels proved to be a match for a single zip tie. Also, use some pliers to close the zip tie on the hose.

Might be a stupid question, but there's nothing sitting at the bottom of the outlet is there? I had a penny fall into one once and everytime I tried to put my charger into it the fuse would blow.
Thanks ! That’s a good idea ! I’ll try that !
I’m pretty sure there is not but I’ll double check

I think if anything metal touches the inside of the charge port other than a charger it will blow the fuse. I've had pennies and the end of a USB adapter hit the inside a few times and it always blows the fuse.

Definitely not. I've installed dozens of downpipes for people and never removed them or saw any need. They aren't in the way what so ever. I'd prob research a different shop.

Ive never heard or done that before. Even with snapping 2 studs, the axle didn't have to come out

I probably won't go with a shop and have some friends lend me hand. I was curious how much it would be for a shop to do it so they had me stop by to give it a look over before they quoted anything, but when they mentioned that I thought I'd thought I'd double check.
