Default Lovefab Owners

Hey guys,

i think a engine torque damper may take away some of that vibration. any of you guys has one with your Lovefab GT1 kit? Is there enough room for one?
thannks!

Taking the manifold off and throwing it in the garbage would help with the vibration for sure. If I would have kept my car, I would get an inline pro manifold and use the salvagable parts and pieces from the Lovefab kit. It can be done fairly cheap if you know a welder. Then you can actually enjoy the car you bought for enjoyment instead of working on it all the time.

Not trying to be a smartass here, I am just telling you from personal experience that if the manifold does crack it isnt worth fixing because the problems will just keep coming.

Oh man I literally laughed out loud at that one. I started reading it as a serious post then read the throwing it in the garbage part

It's not a torque dampener... it's braces to help support the weight of the turbo. It was supposed to fix the rattling. It's done nothing for me. I thought it went away but it is still noticeable.

if only inline pro come out with stiffer engine mount you're gold. Problem is more power and torque moves the engine around much more.
